4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Prompt removal of the material and obtaining medical attention are essential for all contact.  Remove all 
contaminated clothing and immediately wash the exposed areas with copious amounts of water.  
Continue the flushing during transportation to the emergency department.  Corrosive effects may be 
delayed (up to 72 hours), and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain.  Contact local 
poison control centre for further guidance.
General Guidelines:  
Move victim to fresh air.  Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped.  Give 
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse.  Oxygen administration may 
be beneficial in this situation but should only be administered by personnel trained in its use.  Obtain 
medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
Prompt removal of the material from the skin is essential for all concentrations, whether as a solid, or a 
concentrated or dilute solution. (3) Prompt removal of the material from the skin is essential.  Remove 
all contaminated clothing and immediately wash the exposed areas with copious amounts of water for a 
minimum of 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes for critical body areas.  Obtain medical attention 
IMMEDIATELY.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably up to 60 minutes.  
Hold eyelids open during flushing.  If irritation persists, repeat flushing.  Do not transport victim until the 
recommended flushing period is completed unless flushing can be continued during transport.
Eye Contact:
Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. DO NOT give acidic agents (e.g., 
citrus juices or vinegar) to "neutralize" the alkali.  This action may cause an exothermic reaction and 
burn the esophagus. IMMEDIATELY contact local Poison Control Centre.  If victim is alert and not 
convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1 to 2 glasses of milk.  Water may be used if milk is not available 
but it is not as effective.  If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to 
avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more milk or water.  IMMEDIATELY transport 
victim to an emergency facility.
Ingestion:
Corrosive! Burns (chemical) can occur if not promptly removed. Concentrated solutions may cause pain 
and deep and severe burns to the skin.  Prolonged and repeated exposure to dilute solutions often 
causes irritation, redness, pain and drying and cracking of the skin. Prolonged, confined (especially 
under the finger nails, under rings or watch bands) or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation and 
possibly lead to (chemical) burns. Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. Toxic effects 
may be delayed. Avoid handling when the skin is moist, wet or abraded.
Skin Contact:
Corrosive! Skin absorption is a secondary concern to the continual destruction of tissue while the 
product is in contact with the skin. Burns (chemical) can occur if not promptly removed.
Skin Absorption:
Extremely corrosive!  This product causes corneal scarring and clouding.  Glaucoma, cataracts and 
permanent blindness may occur.
Eye Contact:
Corrosive! This product causes severe burning and pain in the mouth, throat and abdomen.  Vomiting, 
diarrhea and perforation of the esophagus and stomach lining may occur. Swallowing this material 
causes severe burns to the mouth, throat and stomach, death may result.  Severe scarring of the throat 
may occur.  (3)
Ingestion:
Corrosive effects on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation 
or onset of pain.  Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.
May cause chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema. Corrosive to all body tissues with which it 
comes in contact.  The effect of local dermal exposure may consist of multiple areas of superficial 
destruction of the skin or of primary irritant dermatitis.  Similarly, inhalation of dust, spray or mist may 
result in varying degrees of irritation or damage to the respiratory tract tissues and an increased 
susceptibility to respiratory illness.  These effects occur only when the TLV is exceeded. (3)
Regardless of concentrations, the severity of damage and extent of its irreversibility increases with 
length of contact time.  Prolonged contact with even dilute Sodium Hydroxide solution can cause a high 
degree of tissue destruction.  The latent period, following skin contact during which no sensation of 
irritation occurs, varies from several hours for 0.4-4% solution to 3 minutes with 25-50% solution. (3)

Immediate consultation with the local Poison Control Centre should be initiated.  Severe and sometimes 
delayed (up to 72 hours) local and systemic reactions can occur.
Due to the severely irritating or corrosive nature of the material, swallowing may lead to ulceration and 
inflammation of the upper alimentary tract with hemorrhage and fluid loss.  Also, perforation of the 
esophagus or stomach may occur, leading to mediastinitis or peritonitis and the resultant complications. 
(3) Mucosal injury following ingestion of this corrosive material may contraindicate the induction of 
vomiting in the treatment of possible intoxication.  Similarly, if gastric lavage is performed, intubation 
should be done with great care.  If oral burns are present or a corrosive ingestion is suspected by the 
patient's history, perform esophagoscopy as soon as possible.  Scope should not be passed beyond the 
first burn because of the risk of perforation.
This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated.  If ingestion has 
occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to 
prevent aspiration.  Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis.  Give artificial 
resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed.
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include diseases of the skin, 
eyes or respiratory tract.

Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. Collect product for recovery or disposal.  For release to 
land, or storm water runoff, contain discharge by constructing dykes or applying inert absorbent;  for 
release to water, utilize damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of contamination.  
Ventilate enclosed spaces.  Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could 
adversely affect the environment. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces to become 
slippery. Wear respirator, protective clothing and gloves. Replace damaged containers immediately to 
avoid loss of material and contamination of surrounding atmosphere.
Containment and Clean-Up 
Procedures:
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be 
under internal pressure.  These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening.  A face shield 
and apron should be worn. When diluting, add this material/product to water in small amounts to avoid 
spattering.  Never add water to this material/product.  The water should be lukewarm.  Never start with 
hot or cold water. Add small quantities of this material slowly to large quantities of water, stirring 
constantly all the while.  Constant stirring is necessary to avoid concentration of the product at the 
bottom of the mix vessel.  Such concentration of the product may result in a violent exotherm with 
boiling of the liquid resulting in splashing, spattering or a violent eruption of a highly corrosive solution if 
the addition is too rapid or without sufficient stirring. (3) Clean all containers of residues before adding 
the product.  This will avoid potential violent reaction with unknown residues. (3)
Handling Practices:
See Section 8, "Engineering Controls".
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing aerosols ( vapours or mists ). Avoid contact with 
eyes, skin or clothing.  Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.  Wash contaminated 
clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Other Precautions:
STORAGE
See below.
Storage Temperature (°C):
Local exhaust ventilation preferred. Ventilation should be corrosion proof.
Ventilation Requirements:
Hazardous carbon monoxide can form upon contact with food and beverage products in enclosed 
spaces and can cause death. Do not store near oxidizing agents or acids. Store in a cool, well-
ventilated area.  Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.  Keep containers closed.  Do not expose 
sealed containers to temperatures above 40° C. Storage tanks should be in a contained area to control 
any spills or leaks.
Corrosive mist is most likely to be generated at the vents of process or storage tanks, especially during 
filling operations.  The use of compressed air to force corrosive materials from delivery trucks is of 
special concern.  Scrubbing the exhaust of these vents is highly recommended.  Jurisdictional 
regulations should be consulted to determine required practices. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect 
against physical damage.
Storage Requirements:
Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas which could make an explosive mixture with air. 
Solutions are slightly corrosive to metals. Equipment for storage, handling or transport should NOT be 
made from the following material, or, where applicable, its alloys:   copper, tin, aluminum, zinc and 
Galvanized Materials. Confirm suitability of any material before using.
Special Materials to be Used for 
Packaging or Containers:
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this 
product.  Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific 
protective devices at your workplace.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation required.  Ventilation should be corrosion proof. Make up air should be 
supplied to balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas 
such as sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect.
For personnel entry into confined spaces (i.e. bulk storage tanks) a proper procedure must be followed.  
It must include consideration of, among other things, ventilation, testing of tank atmosphere, provision 
and maintenance of SCBA, and emergency rescue. Use the "buddy" system.  The second person 
should be in view and trained and equipped to execute a rescue.  (4)

Synergistic Materials:
Many publications in the scientific literature confirm the severely irritating properties of acute and short-
term exposure to Sodium Hydroxide in humans and animals and discuss toxic effects (such as death, 
eye damage or changes in lung morphology), which are probably related to the corrosive properties of 
this compound. (3)
Inhalation of unmeasured concentrations 30 minutes per day for 2.5 months resulted in lung damage in 
rats.  A rodent drinking water study at 1% (duration unknown) was reported to result in "nervous 
symptoms" and growth retardation.  Growth was unaffected in this same study at 0.5%, but no 
conceptions occured. (3)
No tumors were seen in any longer term animal studies.  Sodium Hydroxide produced no genetic 
changes in standard tests using bacterial cells.  No significant increases in mortality in relation to 
duration or intensity of exposures were reported in an epidemiologic study of a small group of workers 
exposed to caustic dusts for 30 years or more. (3)
Massive ingestion of Sodium Hydroxide has been implicated as causing esophageal cancer.  
Squamous cells carcinomas of the esophagus occurred approximately 12-42 years later in individuals 
who survived accidental childhood ingestion and are likely due to the tissue destruction and possible 
scarring of the esophagus rather than a direct effect of Sodium Hydroxide. (3)

Can be dangerous if allowed to enter drinking water intakes. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation 
water supplies, lakes, streams, ponds, or rivers.
Sodium Hydroxide has no biological oxygen demand. (3) There is limited information available on the 
environmental fate and effects of Sodium Hydroxide.  Laboratory toxicity data indicate that Sodium 
Hydroxide is moderately toxic to aquatic and terrestrial organisms.  The primary mode of action is due 
to the corrosive nature of this chemical and its tendency to increase pH in poorly buffered 
environments.  Aquatic organisms become increasingly stressed as pH exceeds 9, with many aquatic 
species being intolerant of pH levels in excess of 10.  Increased pH due to the introduction of Sodium 
Hydroxide into aquatic environments may lead to the precipitation of essential micronutrients.  Exposed 
terrestrial species would be subject to skin irritation and burns due to the corrosive nature of this 
material.  Due caution should be excercised to prevent the accidental release of this material to aquatic 
or terrestrial environments. (3)
Environmental Fate:
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Neutralize carefully with weak acid to a pH of 6 to 9. Neutralization is expected to be exothermic. 
Effervescence may result. Add a liberal covering of sodium bicarbonate. Confirm pH using pH paper.
Deactivating Chemicals:
This information applies to the material as manufactured. Reevaluation of the product may be required 
by the user at the time of disposal since the product uses, transformations, mixtures and processes 
may influence waste classification. Dispose of waste material at an approved (hazardous) waste 
treatment/disposal facility in accordance with applicable local, provincial and federal regulations.  Do not 
dispose of waste with normal garbage, or to sewer systems.
Waste Disposal Methods:
See "Waste Disposal Methods".
Safe Handling of Residues:
Empty containers retain product residue and can be dangerous. Empty drums should be completely 
drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. Do not expose such containers 
to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury 
or death. Do not dispose of package until thoroughly washed out.
