lots of precautions needed when handling distilled water, compared to regular tap water.

that is one of the most blank MSDSs i've seen. Which it should be considering it's for distilled water.

Recommended extinguishing methods.
Extinguisher powder or CO2. In case of more serious fires, also alcohol-resistant foam and water spray. Do not use a
direct stream of water to extinguish.

Dafuq?

NEVER extinguish a water fire with water.

NEVER extinguish a water fire with water.

That's why you use sodium 😛

NEVER extinguish a water fire with water.

And if you get distilled water in your eyes be sure to wash it with cool normal water. And god forbid somebody ingests it....seek medical attention NOW!

I knew a guy who drank water every day. Needless to say, he's dead now. Idiot.

There is an MSDS sheet for everything.

This is a case where "literally" may be used in the most appropriate, original sense of the word. As in: "There is an MSDS sheet for literally everything."

you can actually kill yourself if you are out doing some intense exercise or dehydrated and then drink a ton of distilled water. It contains zero minerals and will cause hyponatremic shock

surprised no quadrant pic in that msds sheet.

Someone somewhere got paid to make that (unless it was procedurally generated from a database). I can't imagine being that person, to have a job that's that pointless must be a little demoralizing.

Water can kill you.

I LOL'd.

Given all the stuff water dissolves, I wouldn't trust it.

I have our safety guy looking up DHMO for our chemical inventory manual. Gave him a brief description of the harms, etc. Can't wait until he researches it for the MSDS sheets.

 

[PliotronX]

Deionized is even worse

Only anecdotal thing I can say about distilled water is it always felt "colder" than tap water at room temperature for some reason.

In my area a fire sprinkler system is required above bleach (sodium hypochlorite) tanks.
I always tell the owners that if you manage to set bleach on fire, that's probably the least of your problems :biggrin:




(the sprinkler system is actually to knock down the chlorine fumes the bleach gives off in case the tanks rupture in a fire)

DI water can vary, depending on how it's done and what it's used for.

Wouldn't recommend drinking DI water more or less in general from an industrial process.

We should have that MSDS sheet in our battery room. Distilled water is used to top up the electrolyte in them. It's quite a dangerous process to deal with that much distilled water. We do have a spill kit but that's just for sulfuric acid.
