Potent Disinfectant: Sodium Hypochlorite SDS

Eye & Skin corrosion, irritability, or harmful to the skin & eyes.
damage to the eyes & serious burns to the skin
A substance that is frequently used & renowned for its potent disinfection and oxidising abilities is sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). It is frequently utilised as a bleaching agent, water treatment, & sanitation in industrial, commercial, & domestic contexts.
Strong oxidizer sodium hypochlorite can ignite spontaneous combustion when combined with organic materials. Additionally, it is corrosive & can seriously harm the skin, eyes, & respiratory system.
The eyes, skin, & respiratory system all suffer serious irritation & harm from exposure to sodium hypochlorite. If consumed or inhaled, it can potentially harm the liver, kidneys, & central nervous system.
Personal protective equipment: When handling sodium hypochlorite, gloves, goggles, & face masks or respirators should always be worn. When handling the chemical, wear a lab coat, eye protection, & facial protection to prevent contact with the skin & eyes.
