Rinse mouth thoroughly with water and give large amounts of milk or water, if person is conscious. Seek medical attention. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Irritant effects. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Suitable extinguishing media Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Should not be released into the environment. This product is miscible in water. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Neutralize with acid. Flush area clean with lots of water. Be aware of potential for surfaces to become slippery. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the MSDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep container tightly closed. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. 2 / 7

ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Components SODIUM HYDROXIDE (CAS ) PEL Type Ceiling US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Components Type SODIUM HYDROXIDE (CAS ) Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Ceiling Value 2 mg/m3 Value 2 mg/m3 Value biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). 2 mg/m3 Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide eyewash station. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations Wear chemical goggles. Wear protective gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. Wear protective gloves. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. 9.
