Hazard information
Regulatory Information
Chemical: Sodium oxide (Na2O)
Sodium oxide (Na2O) is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Sodium oxide (Na2O) are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)
Status: Active Update: 21-09-2022 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/22654
Sodium oxide (Na2O): Does not have an individual approval but may be used as a component in a product covered by a group standard. It is not approved for use as a chemical in its own right.
Chemical Dangers
The solution in water is a strong base. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Reacts violently with water. This produces sodium hydroxide. Decomposes at >400 °C. This produces sodium peroxide and sodium. Attacks many metals in the presence of water.
Safety & protection
First Aid Measures
Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.

Sodium oxide (Na2O): ACTIVE
Applications
UsesAs a dehydrating agent; in certain chemical reactions as a polymerizing or condensing agent.
UsesSodium oxide is used in chemical manufacturing, ceramics and glasses. Ethylbenzene dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide shift-reaction occurs using a sodium oxide/alumina catalyst. It is employed as catalyzing gasification of CO2 on carbon.
UsesSodium oxide has been used as a coating precursor on organic polymer films during the plasma modification to analyze its antimicrobial properties.
General DescriptionSodium oxide is a strong alkaline oxide, commonly used as an active flux in ceramic glazes.

Additional notes
DefinitionA white solid formed by burning sodium in a deficiency of oxygen or alternatively by reducing sodium peroxide or sodium hydroxide with the requisite amount of sodium. It reacts violently with water to form sodium hydroxide and with acids to form solutions of their salts. Sodium monoxide forms cubic crystals. It dissolves in liquid ammonia to give a mixture of sodamide and sodium hydroxide.
Definitionsodium monoxide: A whitish-greydeliquescent solid, Na2O; r.d. 2.27;sublimes at 1275°C. It is manufacturedby oxidation of the metal in alimited supply of oxygen and purifiedby sublimation. Reaction with waterproduces sodium hydroxide. Its commercialapplications are similar tothose of sodium hydroxide.
