Class 8 corrosives are substances that can cause full-thickness destruction of human skin at the site of contact within a specified period of time. They are usually acids or bases and can be liquids or solids. Some examples of Class 8 corrosives include potassium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite.
Its important to note that Class 8 corrosives are a type of hazardous material and are regulated for transportation and handling. When shipping corrosives, care should be taken to ensure that incompatible corrosive materials cannot become mixed, as many corrosives react very violently if mixed.
