Urea hydrochloride salt, not corrosive to skin as long as no H20 is present. Can we base that on internal testing or do we need 2 have 3rd prty cert?

09 October 2017 1 736 Report

Urea Hydrochloride, a salt made with urea + hydrochloride, is not corrosive to skin based on internal testing as long as no water is present (water in the sweat on human skin might be an issue). Can we classify urea hydrochloride as non-corrosive per DOT and GHS standards based on our own internal testing, or do we need to have a 3rd party test? How best to avoid liability issues?

http://www.mbresearchlabs.com/corrositex/index.htm has a nice product that you can use to test this yourself.

I've used it previously for a project.
