Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Corrosive to skin. Even a small amount in the eye can cause blindness. Do not swallow. Avoid breathing dusts or mists from solutions. Use only with adequate ventilation. Ventilation must be sufficient to limit employee exposure to this product below permissible exposure limits. When making solutions or diluting, only add caustic soda slowly to surface of cold water while stirring. Do not add to warm or hot water, a violent eruption or explosive reaction can result. Avoid contact with organic materials and concentrated acids - may cause violent reactions. Caustic soda reacts with magnesium, aluminum, zinc (galvanized), tin, chromium, brass and bronze, generating hydrogen which is explosive. Caustic soda may react with various sugars to generate carbon monoxide. Hazardous carbon monoxide gas can form upon contact with food and beverage products in enclosed vessels and can cause death. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in work area.
