Re: Caustic Soda,
The chemical name as you probably know is Sodium Hydroxide, It comes either
in a liquid form which is a diluted 50% solution, or solid in three shapes:
solid about 99 % , flakes or pearls / prills and they are 96 to 98 %.
Its in strict violation to the DOT to move barrels or drums of this product
without the correct packing and labeling.
This should include, a UN certified drum, or bag, Corrosive label 8, UN
number, Chemical name ( Sodium Hydroxide ),CAS number, packing group II, and
a poison sign.
Even in conducting a repacking operation, if this was the case with this
engineering company, same labeling regulations should be followed...
