Safety Precautions

Extremely corrosive alkaline solution requiring strict safety protocols. Mandatory PPE includes chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene/butyl rubber), full face shield with chemical splash goggles, and alkali-resistant protective clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas with proper containment systems. Store in compatible containers away from acids, metals, and organic materials. Emergency eyewash stations and safety showers required in handling areas. Generates significant heat when diluted.
