ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION: ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Only trained and properly protected personnel should be involved in spill cleanup operations. Acting cautiously, small accidental spills of caustic soda solution should be carefully flushed with water. Dilute acid, preferably acetic acid, may be used to neutralize only the final traces of caustic after flushing. DISPOSAL METHOD: Disposal of caustic soda must meet all federal, state, and local regulations. Contact The Dow Chemical Company for additional information. 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: EYE: May cause severe irritation with corneal injury and result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. Dusts may irritate eyes. SKIN CONTACT: Short single exposure may cause severe skin burn^. SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. The dermal LD50 has not been determined. INGESTION: May cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration and severe burns of the mouth and throat. Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined. INHALATION: Dusts or mists may cause severe irritation to upper respiratory tract. SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: No relevant information found. 7.

FIRST AID: EYES: WATER is the only accepted method of removal of caustic soda (lye) from the eyes or skin. You may have 10 seconds or less to avoid serious permanent injury. Therefore, IMMEDIATE first aid must be given after any injurious exposure. Moving the victim from water access for transport to medical aid should be done only on the advice of qualified medical personnel. While transporting victim to a medical facility, continue washing if possible. In case of eye contact, wash eyes immediately and continuously for 30 minutes. Call for medical assistance immediately. SKIN: Immediate continued and thorough washing in flowing water for 30 minutes is imperative while removing contaminated clothing. Prompt medical consultation is essential. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk if available and transport to medical facility. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult medicaI. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Corrosive. May cause stricture. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophagoscopic control. Material is strong alkali. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. For burns of skin only. Eye irrigation may be necessary for an extended period of time to remove as much caustic as possible. Duration of irrigation and treatment is at the discretion of medical personnel. No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 8.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: EXPOSURE GUI DEL INE (S): Sodium chloride: Dow IHG is 10 mg/m3. Sodium hydroxide: OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV are 2 mg/m3 Ceiling. VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guideline. Good general ventilation sufficient for most operations. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In misty atmospheres, use an approved mist respirator. If respiratory irritation is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. SKIN PROTECTION: Use protective clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron, hard hat with face-shield or full-body suit will depend on operation. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before reuse. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. Full-face shield , in addition to goggles may be desirable to protect face. Maintain eye wash fountain and safety shower at or near work area. 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Prevent eye and skin contact. Do not breathe dusts or mists. Avoid storing next to strong acids. Caustic should be stored in clean, dry areas. Do not store in underground tanks. Product absorbs C02 from air. Keep containers closed and sealed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: (CONTINUED) SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR DILUTING CAUSTIC SODA SOLUTION: 1. ALWAYS add caustic soda solution to water with constant agitation. NEVER add water to the caustic soda solution. 2. The water should be lukewarm (80-100F). NEVER start with hot or cold water. The addition of caustic soda to liquid will cause a rise in temperature. If caustic soda becomes concentrated in one area, or is added too rapidly, or is added to hot or cold liquid, a rapid temperature increase can result in DANGEROUS mists or boiling or spattering which may cause an immediate VIOLENT ERUPTION.
