CHEM-AQUA 51709 is a corrosion inhibitor, an aqueous solution of alkali salts, classified as hazardous due to its corrosive nature to metals and severe health risks. It is harmful if swallowed, causes severe skin burns and eye damage, and is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. Key components include Sodium nitrite, Sodium hydroxide, Sodium tetraborate, and Sodium silicate. The document outlines stringent safety precautions for handling, storage, and disposal, including wearing protective gear, thorough washing, and proper emergency first aid for eye, skin, inhalation, and ingestion exposures. Environmental precautions stress preventing discharge into surface water or sewers. The product is stable but incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, and certain metals, which can produce flammable hydrogen gas. Regulatory information indicates it is subject to SARA 313 and CERCLA reporting requirements.
