Sodium Hydroxide

 

  1. General Description

 

Caustic soda flakes is obtained from sodium hydroxide – technical grade, by electrolytic process.

It is a solid white, hygroscopic, odorless substance. Caustic soda flakes easily dissolves in water, with heat release. The product is soluble in methyl andethyl alcohols. Sodium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte (completely ionized both in crystalline and solution states). Sodium hydroxide is not volatile, but it rises easily in air as aerosols. It is insoluble in ethyl ether.

 Storage & Handling:

Keep the product in tightly closed and properly labeled containers. Do not store caustic soda flakes in aluminum container as flammable hydrogen gas can be produced.

Caustic soda flakes should be stored under dry and cold spaces well-ventilated in order to avoid dust forming and spreading.   Never store caustic soda flakes together with other group of materials such as: acids and ammonium salts.

Health effects:

Please refer to the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) offering customers help to better         satisfy their particular handling, safety and disposal needs and those that may be required by locally applicable health and safety regulations.

 

Additional Safety Information:

Caustic soda flakes is highly corrosive hazardous product. Avoid body contact. It is dangerous to eyes and skin. Destroys skin tissues and causes severe chemical burns. Inhalation of dust/mist can cause serious injury to respiratory tract. Ingestion can injure the digestive system.

Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 no other specific uses are stipulated

 

 

 

  1. Exposure controls/personal protection

 

Control parameters                               Components with workplace control parameters

 

Exposure controls                                  Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety

Appropriate                                            practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday

engineering controls

 

Personal protective equipment         Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection

Eye/face protection                               tested and approved under appropriate government standards

such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

 

Skin protection                                       Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use

proper glove removal technique (without touching glove’s outer

surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of

 

contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws

and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Body Protection

 

 

 

Respiratory protection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control of environmental exposure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

 

 

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

 

 

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
