Many people buy so-called clog removers when the drain in their bathroom, sink, or toilet is blocked. But to remind you, these clog removers if used improperly, are easy to a chemical reaction, and even cause an explosion!
Recently, a woman bought these clog removers to use on her own. As a result, during the processing, a minor explosion was unfortunately caused, and the chemicals caused minor burns on her face. In the end, she had to go to the hospital for medical treatment.
In this regard, Public Health Malaysia has warned people to be careful if they use the detergent to unclog drains in their homes. The chemical is corrosive and can produce chemical effects and release toxic gases when poured into sinks.
Most of these clog remover is based on the alkaline component sodium hydroxide, when sodium hydroxide meets water, will produce a lot of heat, heat increases in the narrow space of the pipe, pressure increases, this time the liquid will be spattered out from the narrow pipe, resulting in people “burn”.
Therefore, the public is urged not to use these clog removers indiscriminately, and they must read the instructions carefully before use, do not look at the sinkhole when using, and do not need to carefully observe the chemical reaction process.
