**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes severe burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Corrosive.Toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Vapor or mist may cause
irritation and severe burns. Contact with liquid is corrosive to the
eyes and causes severe burns.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the
skin. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Prolonged and/or
repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause
deep, penetrating ulcers of the skin. Substance is rapidly absorbed
through the skin. May cause skin discoloration.
Ingestion:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure. Causes digestive tract burns with immediate pain, swelling
of the throat, convulsions, and possible coma.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May also cause pallor, loss of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, darkened urine, headache, sweating,
convulsions, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
the blood), unconsciousness, fatigue, pulmonary edema & coma.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. May cause liver and kidney
damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use water with
caution and in flooding amounts. Contact with moisture or water may
generate sufficient heat to ignite nearby combustible materials.
Extinguishing Media:
Not available.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use only under a chemical fume hood.

Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Stable.
Conditions to Avoid:
Temperatures above recommended temperatures, incompatible materials,
moisture, contact with water, acids.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Sodium hydroxide generates large amounts of heat when in contact with
water and may steam and splatter. Sodium hydroxide reacts with
mineral acids to form corresponding salts. Reacts with weak acid
gases like hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.
Sodium hydroxide ignites when in contact with cinnamaldehyde or zinc,
and reacts explosively with a mixture of chloroform and
methane.Sodium hydroxide is corrosive to metals such as aluminum,
tin, and zinc as well as to alloys such as steel and may cause
formation of flammable hydrogen gas. Phenol is incompatible with
strong oxidizers, alkalies, calcium hypochlorite halogens, and nitric
acid. Mixtures with nitrobenzene and aluminum chloride may violently
explode when they come in contact with phenol. Phenol coagulates
colodion and proteins. Hot liquid phenol will attack aluminum,
magnesium, lead and zinc metals.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, toxic fumes of sodium oxide, sodium
peroxide fumes.
Hazardous Polymerization: Has not been reported.
