Vapors may irritate the respiratory system, causing coughing or shortness of breath.
This section provides data such as:
Store locked up in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep in the original container, upright, and tightly closed.
Do not dispose of large quantities into sewage systems. safety data sheet for w5 thick bleach
Using W5 Thick Bleach without an accessible SDS in a professional setting is a violation of health and safety law.
Manufacturers are legally required to provide an SDS upon request. While Lidl does not always print the full SDS on the bottle (only hazard pictograms and H-statements), you can obtain it via:
Under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations, W5 Thick Bleach carries a signal word and requires specific hazard pictograms on its packaging. THICK BLEACH 5 LITRES - Scobies Direct Vapors may irritate the respiratory system, causing coughing

Extreme heat, direct sunlight, and mixing with other chemicals. 11. Toxicological Information
The first section of any SDS identifies the product and its uses. For W5 Thick Bleach, this includes the product name, recommended uses (e.g., whitening laundry, disinfecting surfaces, removing mold), and supplier details (Lidl or its contract manufacturer). The SDS also lists the substance’s classification: typically, a solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) at 5–15%, along with thickening agents, stabilizers (e.g., sodium hydroxide to maintain alkalinity), and surfactants. Sodium hypochlorite is the primary hazardous ingredient, with a concentration that determines its hazard category (e.g., Skin Corrosive 1A, Aquatic Acute 1). The SDS includes the unique identification number (e.g., EC number 231-668-3 for sodium hypochlorite) and any impurities that affect classification. Do not dispose of large quantities into sewage systems
This is the most critical section for a quick safety overview. An SDS will state that the product is "Hazardous" according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). The hazard statements (H-statements) that will appear include:
Irritation to skin and eyes, coughing, severe sore throat if swallowed. Acute Toxicity: Corrosive to mucous membranes and skin. 12. Ecological Information
