EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
CORROSIVE LIQUID. CONTAINS SODIUM HYDROXIDE. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN OR
CLOTHING. AVOID BREATHING SPRAY OR MIST. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE PERSONAL
PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES:
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH EYES WILL CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, POSSIBLY BURNS AND
PERMANENT DAMAGE.
SKIN:
CONTACT WITH SKIN CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION WITH PAIN, POSSIBLY PRODUCE
SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS AND DESTROY TISSUES; IRRITATION MAY BE DELAYED.
INGESTION:
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED - CAUSES SEVERE BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND
STOMACH IF INGESTED.
INHALATION:
INHALATION OF GENERATED MISTS OR SPRAY MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION OR
CHEMICAL BURNS OF MOUTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH.

DESTRUCTION OF THE SKIN OR OF PRIMARY IRRITANT DERMATITIS.
CARCINOGENICITY: NONE
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BE EXPOSURE:
AN EXISTING DERMATITIS AND RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES.
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYES:
FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SPEED OF ACTION IS ESSENTIAL.
SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOAP AND WATER. IF
SKIN STILL FEELS SLIPPERY OR IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTINUE WASHING.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IN THE CASE OF ANY PROLONGED IRRITATION..
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER OR
(PREFERABLY) MILK AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. SPEED OF ACTION IS ESSENTIAL.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. START ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NECESSARY. OXYGEN MAY
BE ADMINISTERED. CALL A PHYSICIAN.

OXIDIZING MATERIALS.
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
SPECIFIC USE CONDITIONS (SPRAYING/CONFINED SPACES) WHERE REGULATORY LIMITS
FOR NaOH ARE EXCEEDED MAY REQUIRE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO PREVENT
RELEASE OF MIST &/OR VAPORS INTO WORK ENVIRONMENT. IF VENTILATION IN NOT
ADEQUATE, USE NLOSH/MSHA A APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH ALKALINE MIST/GAS
CARTRIDGE & FULL FACE PIECE.
EYE PROTECTION:
CLOSE FITTING SAFETY GLASSES/GOGGLES/ FACE SHIELD DEPENDING UPON CONDITIONS
OF USE.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING APPROPRIATE TO MINIMIZE CONTACT (IE: RUBBER
BOOTS, APRON, FACESHIELD) ESPECIALLY WHERE SPRAY BACK/MISTING CONDITIONS
EXIST. RUBBER PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
NaOH TLV = 2MG/M3. EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER IN HANDLING AREA.
SPECIFIC ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SUCH AS VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS):
INSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO CONTROL NaOH AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION BELOW TLV
OF 2MG/M3. EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER IN HANDLING AREA.
