=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE
    IRRITATION OR BURNS. SKIN: CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OR
    BURNS. INHALATION: SEVERE IRRITATION TO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WITH
    PULMONARY EDEMA, LUNG INFLAMMATION. ING ESTION: MAY RESULT IN
    SEVERE INTESTINAL IRRITATION WITH BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT, AND
    STOMACH WITH NAUSEA AND VOMITING.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: IRRITATION, BURNS. SKIN: IRRITATION,
    BURNS. INHALATION: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION, PULMONARY EDEMA,
    LUNG INFLAMMATION. INGESTION: INTESTINAL IRRITATION, BURNS OF
    MOUTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH,  NAUSEA, VOMITING.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

Eyes: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES,
    LIFTING LOWER AND UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET PROMPT MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. SKIN: FLOOD WITH WATER, THEN WASH WITH VINEGAR.
    INHALATION: MOVE TO  FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE
    LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO  DRINK. FOLLOW WITH WHITE OF EGGS, BEATEN
    WITH WATER. CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NON-COMBUSTIBLE.
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY ON FIRE INVOLVING THIS MATERIAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN FIRE CONDITIONS, WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
    MUST INCLUDE EYE PROTECTION. FLOOD WITH WATER, USING CARE NOT TO
    SPLATER OR SPLASH THIS  MATERIAL. CONTACT WITH WATER PRODICES
    INTENSE HEAT AND HIGHLY IRRITATING AND CORROSIVE MIST.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SOLID FORM IN CONTACT WITH MOISTURE MAY
    GENERATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. CONTACT
    WITH METALS CAN GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS. HOT OR MOLTEN MATERIAL WILL
    REACT VIOLENTLY WITH WATER	LIBERATING HEAT AND CAUSING SPLASHING.
    A SEVERE EYE HAZARD; SOLID OR CONCENTRATED SOLUTION DESTROYS TISSUE
    ON CONTACT.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CAREFULLY AND WEARING PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    SWEEP UP AND PLACE IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER. FLUSH SPILL AREA WITH
    WATER, RINSE WITH DILUTE ACID, PREFERABLY ACETIC, AND FINALLY WITH
    WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE ACID, PREFERABLY ACETIC. SODIUM BISULFATE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED. STORE IN COOL,
    DRY PLACE. PROTECT AGAINST MOISTURE AND WATER. SEPARATE FROM ACIDS,
    METALS, EXPLOSIVES, ORGANIC PEROXIDES AND EASILY IGNITIBLE
    MATERIALS. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN,  EYES, AND CLOTHING. WASH
    THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:READ LABEL ON CONTAINER. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES
    WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS. PRODUCT IS DELIQUESCENT, ABSORBS WATER
    AND CARBON DIOXIDE FROM AIR. SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND TRICHLOROETHYLENE
    ARE ESPECIAL LY HAZARDOUS SINCE THEY REACT TO FORM SPONTANEOUSLY
    FLAMMABLE DICHLOROACETYLENE. WASH CONTAMINATED C LOTHING PROMPTLY.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED IN NORMAL LABORATORY HANDLING. IF
    DUSTY CONDITIONS PREVAIL, USE A HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE
    RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST AND MECHANICAL (GENERAL) ARE RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES, OR FACE SHIELD WHERE
    APPROPRIATE.
Other Protective Equipment:GOGGLES, LAB COAT, APRON, VENTILATION HOOD,
    PROPER GLOVES, EYE WASH STATION.
Work Hygienic Practices:READ LABEL ON CONTAINER BEFORE USING. DO NOT
    WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT FOR DRUG, FOOD, OR HOUSEHOLD USE. KEEP OUT
    OF REACH OF CHILDREN. PART NUMBER "S146-500G/ SODIUM HYDROXIDE" IS
    THE VENDOR'S, CHEM SCIENTIFIC, PART NUMBER.
