Chronic Exposure:
Sodium hydroxide: repeated / prolonged contact with skin can be destructive to tissue.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

Person with pre- existing ( sodium hydroxide: skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory
function.) may be more susceptible to the effects.

Health Effects:
The health effects from exposures to diluted forms of sodium hydroxide are not well documented. They are
expected to be less severe than those for concentrated forms, which are referenced in the descriptions.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
If breathing becomes difficult, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention immediately.

Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

Skin Contact:
Avoid skin contact. If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed skin with
water for atleast 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eye(s) with large volume of water for atleast 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the lower
lids. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point (Method used): N/A Flammable Limits – LEL: N/A UEL: N/A

Extinguishing Media:
Use fire extinguishing media appropriate for site conditions.

Special Fire Procedures:

Structural firefighting gear and self-contained breathing apparatus will provide adequate protection if this
product is in a fire area.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Sodium hydroxide : adding water to caustic solution generates large amount of heat.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be taken in case material is Released or Spilled:
Initiate cleaning up the spill with an inert substance and package all material into a suitable container, seal,
label and hold for disposal.

7. Handling and Storage

Refer to packet insert for additional information on handling and storage procedures.

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Ventilation Data:
A system of local and / or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
