ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE AND CORROSIVE. WEAR FULL EYE AND HAND PROTECTION ALONG WITH PRO-
TECTIVE CLOTHING. IF THE ELECTROLYTE CONTACTS THE SKIN, WASH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. IF

IZING AGENT. ONE COMMON PRACTICE IS TO USE A SOLUTION OF APPROXIMATELY ONE POUND (500 GRAMS)
OF BICARBONATE OF SODA TO APPROXIMATELY ONE GALLON (4 LITERS) OF WATER. THE BICARBONATE OF
SODA SOLUTION SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE SPILL UNTIL EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REACTION (FOAMING)
