Additional information
Proper grounding procedures to avoid static electricity should be followed. Prevent dust accumulation (to minimize explosion hazard). Avoid generating dust.
2.3 Other hazards
Although this SDS was prepared to address the hazards of molten sulfur, the product transforms into a solid rapidly upon cooling. This document primarily addresses the hazards of the molten state of sulfur, however the non-molten state is also addressed in certain cases. Molten when shipped above melting point 113°C (235.4°F), brittle solid below melting point. Solid particles of sulfur present a combustible dust hazard, and in the right conditions can cause an explosion with sparks, or an ignition source. Product is heated when in molten form, and in contact with an ignition source may present a fire or explosion hazard. Keep product away from sparks, open flames, incompatibilities, and all ignition sources. Risk of thermal burns on contact with molten product. Exposure may aggravate pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions. Unknown acute toxicity No data available
