The creation and dilution of solutions produces \r\nconsiderable heat and may cause boiling, spattering, or violent eruption. Workers should be properly instructed in dilution procedures and exercise caution.  \r\nIncompatibilities:  Flammable liquids, Water, Acids, halogenated compounds, certain metals including aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, lead, tin, zinc, and their alloys and other \r\nalkali sensitive metals.  Therefore, containers or tools of those materials are NOT suitable for handling or storing Potassium Hydroxide.  Aluminum will quickly corrode generating \r\nflammable hydrogen gas.  Plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, and CPVC, can be used (without silica) as they are chemically compatible if you adhere to the plastics maximum temperature \r\nlimitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) have established or recommended \r\noccupational airborne exposure limits.
