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 appear 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.

4. First Aid Measures

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:

Kel. Kembangan Selatan, Kec. Kembangan, Kota Adm. Jakarta Barat, Prov. DKI Jakarta
Telp Kantor：021-22586723 Email：[email protected]

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower

and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

Note to Physician:

Perform endoscopy in all cases of suspected sodium hydroxide ingestion. In

cases of severe esophageal corrosion, the use of therapeutic doses of steroids

should be considered. General supportive measures with continual monitoring of

gas exchange, acid-base balance, electrolytes, and fluid intake are also

required.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

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:

Telp Kantor：021-22586723 Email：[email protected]

Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Adding water to

caustic solution generates large amounts of heat.

Special Information:

In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved

self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure

demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures

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.

Telp Kantor：021-22586723 Email：[email protected]

US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water

and air in excess of reportable quantities.

7. Handling and Storage

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.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:

- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):

2 mg/m3 Ceiling

- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):

2 m /m3 Ceilin

Telp Kantor：021-22586723 Email：[email protected]

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 Recommended Practices,

most recent edition, for details.

Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):

If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half

facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) 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 particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) 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. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,

use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the

exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece 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.

Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Very hygroscopic. Can

slowly pick up moisture from air and react with carbon dioxide from air to form

sodium carbonate.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:

Sodium oxide. Decomposition by reaction with certain metals releases

flammable and explosive hydrogen gas.

Hazardous Polymerization:

Will not occur.

Incompatibilities:

Sodium hydroxide in contact with acids and organic halogen compounds,

especially trichloroethylene, may causes violent reactions. Contact with

nitromethane and other similar nitro compounds causes formation of

shock-sensitive salts. Contact with metals such as aluminum, magnesium, tin,

and zinc cause formation of flammable hydrogen gas. Sodium hydroxide, even

in fairly dilute solution, reacts readily with various sugars to produce carbon

monoxide. Precautions should be taken including monitoring the tank

atmosphere for carbon monoxide to ensure safety of personnel before vessel

entry.
