A container with a half black/half white label signifies which hazard?

Recognize what the label communicates at a glance. A container split with half dark and half light is used to indicate a corrosive material. Corrosives are chemicals that can chemically burn or destroy skin, eyes, or metals, so you handle them with extra caution—wear eye protection and gloves, and store them away from incompatible substances. This isn’t signaling high pressure, which would have a different warning, nor a water-reactive or plain solvent designation. The half black/half white pattern is specifically associated with corrosive hazards in this labeling context.
