FAQ

Use caution when diluting Sodium Hydroxide. To minimize heat generation, DO NOT add water to Caustic; ALWAYS add Caustic to water while stirring. When handling Sodium Hydroxide, it is important that proper PPE (personal protective equipment) is worn. This product must not come in contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation; do not inhale mist or vapors, and do not taste or swallow.

• Eyes/Face: Wear close-fitting chemical splash goggles that do not allow entry of liquids. They should have adequate ventilation to keep them from fogging. Use a face shield to protect your face from possible splashing.
• Skin/Body: Wear a chemical-resistant suit and rubber boots. Do not wear leather boots as Caustic disintegrates leather. Do NOT tuck pant legs into boots.
• Hands: Wear chemical-resistant rubber or rubber/plastic-coated gloves that come well above the wrist.
• Respiratory: Wear a respirator if exposure is expected to exceed regulatory limits.
• General: When handling, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
