Ingredient: Potassium Hydroxide
CAS No.: 1310-58-3

Hazardous: Yes
3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects: Potassium Hydroxide is very hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant, corrosive), of
ingestion, of inhalation. The amount of tissue damage depends on length
of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin
contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will
produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract,
characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Severe over-exposure
can produce lung damage, choking, unconsciousness or death. Inflammation
of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
occasionally, blistering.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: Not available.
Mutagenic Effects: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells.
Teratogenic Effects: Not available.
Developmental Toxicity: Not available.
The substance may be toxic to upper respiratory tract, skin,
eyes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the
substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the
eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin
exposure can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated
inhalation of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation
or lung damage.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a
physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes
before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get
medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Potassium Hydroxide is not
combustible, but contact with water or moisture may generate enough heat
to ignite combustibles.
Explosion: Potassium Hydroxide can react with chemically reactive
metals such as aluminum, zinc, magnesium, copper, etc. to release
hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for
extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: Solution process causes formation of
corrosive mists. Hot or molten material can react violently with water.
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to
put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If
necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid.
Large Spill: Corrosive solid. Stop leak if without risk.
Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use
water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or
confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal.
Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep Potassium Hydroxide in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Protect from moisture. Addition to water releases heat which can result in violent boiling and spattering. Always add slowly and in small amounts. Never use hot water. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure
Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can
control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual
of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is
exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half
face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type
N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A
full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be
worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration
specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH
type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Rubber or neoprene gloves and additional
protection including impervious boots, apron, or coveralls, as needed in
areas of unusual exposure.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face
shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.

10. Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Potassium Hydroxide is stable
under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide when reacting
with carbohydrates, and hydrogen gas when reacting with aluminum, zinc
and tin. Thermal oxidation can produce toxic fumes of potassium oxide
(K2O).
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Contact with water, acids, flammable liquids
and organic halogen compounds, especially trichloroethylene, may cause
fire or explosion. Contact with nitro methane
and other similar nitro compounds cause formation of shock sensitive
salts. Contact with metals such as aluminum, tin and zinc causes
formation of flammable hydrogen gas.
