Product definition
This product is a clear, colorless, odorless solution. Health DANGER! This product is corrosive and can cause severe irritation or burns by all routes of exposure Repeated inhalation of low level concentrations may cause reduced lung capacity. Chronic skin exposure to low concentration may result in dermatitis. Flammability Hazards: This product is not flammable or combustible. If involved in a fire it may generate irritating fumes and toxic gases (e.g., carbon and sodium oxides). Reactivity This product is not reactive. Sodium Hydroxide solutions in contact a number of commonly encountered materials, such as acids generating sufficient heat to ignite nearby combustible materials. This solution can react with metals, such as aluminum, tin and zinc, to form flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Environmental Hazards: This product may cause harm to organisms if accidentally released. Emergency Considerations: Emergency responders should wear appropriate protection for situation to which they respond.
