9.2 Other Information
•
No additional physical and chemical parameters noted.
Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
•
Can slowly pick up moisture from air and react w1th carbon dioxide from air to form sodium carbonate.
10.2 Chemical stability
•
Stable under normal conditions of use and storage. Very hygroscopic. Can slowly pick up moisture from air and react
with carbon dioxide from air to form sodium carbonate.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
•
Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
•
Incompatible materials. Moisture and dusting.
10.5 Incompatible materials
•
Sodium hydroxide in contact with acids and organic halogen compounds, especially trichloroethylene may cause
violent reactions. Contact with nitromethane and other similar nitro compounds causes formation of shock sensitive
salts. Contact with metals such as aluminum, magnesium, tin, and zinc cause formation of flammable hydrogen gas.
