Caustic soda
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly caustic and versatile chemical used in various industrial processes, including the production of soap, paper, and detergents. This white, solid substance is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. Proper safety measures must be observed to avoid harm.
Safety Considerations:
Corrosivity: Caustic soda can cause severe burns and damage to tissues upon contact. Protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection should be worn when handling it.
Reactivity: It reacts violently with water and acids, releasing heat and potentially hazardous fumes. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible substances.
