Useappropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignitionFor Safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents:Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic decomposition can lead torelease of irritating gases and for firefighters:Protective equipment: Use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection/breathing information (precautions): Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with waterspray as a protective measure, where 6 : Accidental release measuresPersonal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:Wear protective equipment.

6 Transfer to a disposal or recovery respiratory protective deviceagainst the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate from ignition sources. Protect from precautions:Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan into properly labeled containers forrecovery or disposal. If necessary, use trained response liquid and dilute with with dilute acid solutions. Decant water to drain with excess water. Absorb with suitable of remaining solid as normal refuse. Always obey local to other sections:SECTION 7 : Handling and storagePrecautions for safe handling:Absorb spillage to prevent material damage due to corrosiveness to metal.

7 Avoid contact with eyes, skin, andclothing. Wash hands after handling. Do not mix with good hygiene procedures when handlingchemical materials. Use only in well ventilated for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:Protect from freezing and physical ventilation for containers. Avoid storage near extreme heat,ignition sources or open flame. Store away from foodstuffs. Store away from oxidizing in cool, dryconditions in well sealed containers. Store with 8 : Exposure controls/personal protectionSafety data Sheetaccording to 29 CFR1910/1200 and GHS Rev. 3 Effective date : 4 of 7 Sodium Hydroxide, by Global Safety Management, Inc. -Tel: 1-813-435-5161 - Parameters:1310-73-2, Sodium Hydroxide, OSHA PEL TWA 2 mg/m31310-73-2, Sodium Hydroxide, ACGIH TLV TWA 2 mg/m3 Appropriate Engineering controls:Emergency eye wash fountains and Safety showers should be available inthe immediate vicinity of exhaust ventilation orother engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vaporor dusts (total/respirable) below the applicable workplace exposure limits(Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated protection:Not required under normal conditions of use.

8 Use suitable respiratoryprotective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitablerespiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills,respiratory protection may be of skin:The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/ the preparation being of the glovematerial on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion andthe protection: Safety glasses with side shields or hygienic measures:The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handlingchemicals. Keep away from food, beverages and feed remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash handsbefore breaks and at the end of work. Do not inhalegases/fumes/dust/mist/vapor/aeroso ls.
