Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The substance reacts with water. The water soluble reaction product is a multi-constituent substance:
Reaction mass of disodium metasilicate and sodium hydroxide (EC 910-245-3)
Sodium Hydroxide: Source - the sodium hydroxide summary risk assessment report JRC EC 2008
In water (including soil or sediment pore water), NaOH is present as the sodium ion (Na+) and hydroxyl ion (OH-), as solid NaOH rapidly dissolves and subsequently dissociates in water. If emitted to soil, sorption to soil particles will be negligible. Depending on the buffer capacity of the soil, OH- will be neutralised in the soil pore water or the pH may increase.
Bioaccumulation in organisms is not relevant for NaOH.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
