Poison! Danger! Corrosive. May Be Fatal If Swallowed. Harmful If Inhaled. Causes Burns To Any Area Of Contact . Reacts With Water, Acids And Other Materials.
|
|
Potential Health Effects:-
|
|
Inhalation
|
Severe irritant. Effects from inhalation of dust or mist vary from mild irritation to serious damage of the upper respiratory tract, depending on severity of exposure. Symptoms may include sneezing, sore throat or runny nose. Severe pneumonitis may occur.
|
|
Ingestion
|
Corrosive! Swallowing may cause severe burns of mouth, throat, and stomach .Severe scarring of tissue and death may result. Symptoms may include bleeding, vomiting diarrhea, fall in blood pressure. Damage may appears days after exposure.
|
|
Skin Contact
|
Corrosive! Contact with skin can cause irritation or severe burns and scarring with greater exposures.
|
|
Eye Contact
|
Corrosive! Causes irritation of eyes, and with greater exposures it can cause burns that may result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness.
|
|
Chronic Exposure
|
Prolonged contact with dilute solutions or dust has a destructive effect upon tissue. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
|
|
Inhalation
|
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
|
|
Ingestion
|
Do Not Induce Vomiting! Give large quantities of water or milk if available. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
|
|
Skin Contact
|
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician, immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
|
|
Eye Contact
|
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
|
|
Fire
|
Not considered to be a fire hazard. Hot or molten material can react violently with water. Can react with certain metals, such as aluminum, to generate flammable hydrogen gas.
|
|
Explosion
|
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
|
|
Fire Extinguishing Media
|
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Adding water to caustic solution generates large amounts of heat.
|
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust. Do not flush caustic residues to the sewer. Residues from spills can be diluted with water, neutralized with dilute acid such as acetic, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Absorb neutralized caustic residue on clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and package in a suitable container for disposal.
Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry,ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Always add the caustic to water while stirring; never the reverse. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do not store with aluminum or magnesium. Do not mix with acids or organic materials.

Airborne Exposure Limits
|
OSHA
|
|
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
|
2 mg/m3 Ceiling – ACGIH
|
|
Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
|
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
|
|
Ventilation System
|
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recomm-ended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
|
|
Personal Respirators
|
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece dust/mist respirator may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
|
|
WARNING
|
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
|
|
Skin Protection
|
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
|
|
Eye Protection
|
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
