Stability and reactivity
This substance is a strong alkali, containing ca. 50% sodium hydroxide. Contact with substances that react with alkali must be avoided, particularly strong acids.
Disposal considerations
This substance is a strong alkali, containing ca. 50% sodium hydroxide. Spills and leaks should be dealt with by absorbing the liquid onto inert materials before disposal as hazardous waste.
