And this is where natural selection comes into play. If someone really can't tell the difference between a bottle of drinkable lemonade and a bottle of sodium hydroxide, probably kept in the garage or shed, they really are best out of the genepool.
Irresponsible indeed!
Like hell you are.
AYOTB?
25kg sacks are supplied in polythene and will form a solid lump if stored outdoors because of moisture. The sacks do not degrade in any way. I would like someone to tell me how this stuff could be distributed and stored if this were not the case.

It is irresponsible. It is good advice not to store such things like that. Young children, for instance, won't know what caustic soda, garden chemicals etc. are, but may well know what a lemonade bottle looks like, and be able to undo the top. They will, of course, realise that something is wrong after a good swig.

Will probably regret asking this, but why is it used as a dpc/dpm material then?
Because it's cheap, and it's reasonably impermeable. Buildings get rained on anyway - there's no point in trying to keep them _absolutely_ dry. And lots of those membranes are PVC anyway, if you're expecting one side to be exposed to saturation.
Look inside a bag of crisps - aluminium metallisation. Look at a telephone cable - aluminium foil wrapper inside.

Caustic soda also causes huge explosions in ng responses too :-) Intrestin' thread though. So say I buy some of this stuff and use it to clean the drains. how would I get rid of the unused amount? Tip it all down the drain? The message seems to be not to try and store this stuff in the first place.
Indeed.
If the original criticism is serious the poster should have been educated proper, So there!
We can all play the 'should' game.
Yes. Then add lots of water.
Its fine as it comes from the shop. In an airtigfht plastic container with a childproof lid and lots of orange poison and hazard signs on it. As a crystal.

Do you think you could separate this from your posting, like putting it in your sig or something ?
Put it in a plastic bag and hang it in a child's bedroom :-)
Well, quite.
Perhaps with a high power UV light to make it glow?
And some sharp knives so they can beat the lot like a pinata.

My walls are rather less affected by a little damp than a sackful of caustic.
