Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Sodium hydride is a strong base which reacts nearly spontaneously when exposed to water forming sodium hydroxide. Thus available data for sodium hydroxide should be acceptable instead of conducting new studies. Sufficient data exist and have been used in establishing an occupation exposure limit for sodium hydroxide. These data are relied upon in the human health risk assessment.
