It's a question of degree. Corrosion actually destroys the tissue (e.g. skin), whereas irritants would only produce a stinging, blistering or reddening.

Plastic is a substance that is not attacked by corrosive substances. A corrosive substance is more dangerous compared to an irritant substance.
Why is a corrosive label more dangerous than a irritant label?
The corrosive label is more harmful because although irritant labels shows us that the substance can cause reddening or blistering to the skin, corrosive subtances can attack and DESTROY tissue, including the eyes and skin.
What is a corrosive substance with a pH more than 7.0?
It's called a base.
Is carbonic acid or sulfuric acid more corrosive?
Sulfuric acid is far more corrosive.
Difference between pH of 4 and pH of 10?
The pH scale ranges from 0-14 pH. A substance that has a pH of 7 is considered to be "neutral," like pure water. A substance that has a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, and a substance that has a pH greater than 7 is said to be basic. Therefore, the difference between those two pH levels is that the 4 pH substance is more acidic and the 10 pH substance is more basic. The more basic or acidic, the more caustic and/or corrosive the substance will be.
