Safety Information & Handling

⚠️ WARNING: Highly Corrosive Material

Sodium Hydroxide is a highly corrosive substance. Proper safety precautions must be followed during handling, storage, and use. Always refer to the complete MSDS before handling.

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
  • Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield (mandatory)
  • Hand Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (rubber, neoprene, or PVC)
  • Body Protection: Chemical-resistant apron or full protective suit
  • Respiratory Protection: Use in well-ventilated areas; respirator if required
  • Footwear: Chemical-resistant safety boots
First Aid Measures
  • Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with plenty of water and soap. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Give water or milk to drink. Seek immediate medical attention.
Fire Fighting Measures

Non-combustible. However, contact with water generates heat and may cause spattering. Use dry chemical, CO₂, or water spray to fight fires involving caustic soda. Wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Spill & Leak Procedures
  • Evacuate area and ventilate thoroughly
  • Wear appropriate PPE before cleanup
  • Contain spill to prevent environmental contamination
  • Neutralize with dilute acid (under professional supervision)
  • Collect material and place in appropriate disposal containers
  • Flush area with water after cleanup

Product Description

Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is a chemical compound made up of two elements: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). It is a white, crystalline substance that is highly soluble in water. Sodium chloride is essential for life, playing a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function in the human body. It is one of the most widely used chemicals, both in its natural mineral form, halite, and as a refined product.

Salt is a natural Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and is used to formulate brines with s.g. up to 1.20 and drilling muds.

Industrial Applications

Seasoning

Sodium chloride is primarily used in cooking as a seasoning to enhance flavor in food.

Preservation

It has been used for centuries as a preservative for meats, fish, and other perishable foods due to its ability to inhibit bacterial growth through dehydration.

Curing

Salt is key in curing meats and making products like ham, bacon, and sausages.

Chemical Manufacturing

Sodium chloride is a precursor to many industrial chemicals, including sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃).

Water Treatment

It is used in water softening processes to remove calcium and magnesium ions, which make water “hard.”

Deicing Roads

In colder regions, sodium chloride is spread on roads during winter to melt ice and snow.

Electrolyte Balance

Sodium chloride is used in saline solutions for intravenous infusions to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in patients.

Oral Health

It is sometimes used in mouthwashes and rinses for its antiseptic properties.

Electrolyte Replacement

Sodium chloride is an ingredient in sports drinks to help replenish lost electrolytes during physical activity.

Cosmetics

It can be found in some skincare products for its exfoliating properties.

Agriculture

Salt is sometimes used in agriculture to enhance soil quality and as an ingredient in certain herbicides.
