Corrosive chemicals are defined as chemicals that can cause damage to body tissues. These chemicals can be dangerous if they come into contact with user’s skin, tissues, eyes, and body parts. Corrosive materials can irritate eyes, burn skin, irritate and burn the inner lining of the nose and throat if inhaled, and have other negative effects if users are not careful when handling these chemicals.

Common corrosive chemicals include acids and bases. Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrofluoric acid are examples of common corrosive acids, while ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide are examples of bases.
