This document provides specifications, applications, hazard classification, packaging, transport, storage, and safety measures for sodium hydroxide solution. It specifies test methods and limits for total alkali content, sodium carbonate content, iron content, and chloride content for membrane and mercury grades. Sodium hydroxide solution is mainly used in chemical, paper, cellulose, fiber, aluminum, soap, and food industries. It is classified as corrosive and transported in steel or plastic tanks. Sodium hydroxide requires proper storage in lined steel tanks and protective equipment when handling due to its corrosive properties.

Large consumers are the paper and cellulose industry, synthetic bres and viscose-, aluminium industry. Additional signicant consumers are soap and detergent production, glass and food industries. It is used for water and waste water treatment and has numerous other uses in addition to the above. HAZARD CLASSIFICATION According to ADR and RID sodium hydroxide is classied in Class 8 (corrosive substance) on the basis of its main hazardous properties. All further measures to be taken related to transportation can be determined in the knowledge of its hazard classication. PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT Sodium hydroxide is delivered in steel, alloyed steel (acid-proof steel) or rubber-lined steel tankers or in 1 m 3 plastic tanks, which are appropriate from the aspect of corrosion protection. The majority of tankers are equipped with internal heating coil connected to steam supply. By road and rail it is delivered in packaging devices complying with ADR and RID regulations. STORAGE It can be stored in steel tanks (max. up to 55 o C). In order to prevent corrosion and contamination with iron a lined steel tank or alloyed steel, nickel or nickel alloy tank shall be applied. To avoid freezing of the caustic soda solution, the storage tanks and pipes shall be equipped with a heating device. It can be stored for an indenite time under suitable conditions. No expiry date in properly closed container or storage tank. SAFETY MEASURES The caustic soda may cause serious deep injures in case of contact with skin or any other body parts. It is a highly corrosive product even in its highly-diluted solutions. In case of eye contact a small quantity can cause damage to the eye and blindness in serious cases. During handling it is absolutely essential to wear proper protective clothing, rubber gloves, laboratory mask or safety goggles.
