Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity: Most strong alkalis and bases react with inorganic and organic acids to form salts. They can also react with some
metals liberating hydrogen gas. These reactions may be rapid and sometimes liberate much heat. They can also decompose
many organic materials such as esters, in a reaction called hydrolysis.
Conditions to Avoid: This product should be kept in a cool place, preferably below 30°C. Keep containers tightly closed.
Keep containers and surrounding areas well ventilated.
Incompatibilities: acids, zinc, tin, aluminium and their alloys, other substances reactive with strongly alkaline liquids.
Fire Decomposition: Only small quantities of decomposition products are expected from this product at temperatures
normally achieved in a fire. This will only occur after heating to dryness. Combustion forms carbon dioxide, and if incomplete,
carbon monoxide. Water is also formed. May form nitrogen and its compounds, and under some circumstances, oxides of
nitrogen. Occasionally hydrogen cyanide gas in reducing atmospheres. Carbon monoxide poisoning produces headache,
weakness, nausea, dizziness, confusion, dimness of vision, disturbance of judgment, and unconsciousness followed by coma
and death.
Polymerisation: This product will not undergo polymerisation reactions.

Section 12 - Ecological Information
Salts, acids and bases are typically diluted and neutralised when released to the environment in small quantities. However,
until diluted or neutralised it will kill all aquatic organisms it contacts due to extreme pH.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Disposal: This product may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its
intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to separate the contamination in some way. Only if neither of
these options is suitable, consider landfill, but we recommend that it be neutralised in a controlled manner before disposal.
