Caustic Soda is a corrosive material. Sodium Hydroxide: Acute Oral LD50=140-340mg/kg(rat) Acute dermal LD
50=1.35 mg/kg (rabbit). AREAS OF EXPOSURE: INHALATION: Excessive inhalation of fumes (ammonia) which
may be generated while the product is being used, due to the reaction of caustic solution on nuggets can cause
irritation of upper respiratory tract. SKIN CONTACT: Caustic Soda is destructive to tissues contacted and
produces severe burns. EYE CONTACT: Caustic soda is destructive to eye tissues on contact, and can cause
burns that result in damage to the eyes and even blindness. INGESTION: Caustic soda, if swallowed, can cause
severe burns and tissue perforation of mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach.
U
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE - ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE - Corrosive to all body tissues with which it comes in
contact. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE The chronic local effect may consist of multiple areas of superficial
destruction of the skin or of primary irritant dermatitis.
N
Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
TI
The dust from product can cause respiratory sensitization.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:
None known

Emergency And First Aid Procedures:
EYES: Object is to flush material out immediately then seek medical attention. Remove any contact lenses to
assure thorough flushing. Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding lids
O
apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing eyes within 1 minute is essential to achieve maximum
effectiveness. Seek medical attention. SKIN: Wash contaminated areas with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and footwear and wash clothing before reuse. Discard footwear which cannot be
C
decontaminated. Seek medical attention immediately. INHALATION: Get person out of contaminated area to fresh
air. If breathing has stopped, resuscitate and administer oxygen if readily available. Seek medical attention
immediately. INGESTION: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Give large quantities of water. If available, give several glasses of milk. If vomiting occurs spontaneously,
IS
keep airways clear. Seek medical attention immediately.

Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
For small spill flush with ample water. Rinse with acetic acid and finally with water. For large spills: First contain the
spill and dilute with water; neutralize with acid before flushing to a drain.
Waste Disposal Method:
Flush to sewer. If large quantities of liquid are involved, pH adjustment may be required. Dispose in conformance
with federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Store in cool dry place. Keep separate from acids, metals, explosives, organic peroxides and easily ignitable
materials.
Other Precautions:
ED
None
Section 8 - Control Measures:
Respiratory Protection:
In confined spaces or other circumstances where adequate ventilation cannot be assured use NIOSH-approved
respirator, positive pressure airline mask, or self contained breathing apparatus.
