Other hazards
Risk of thermal burns on contact with molten product. Molten when shipped above melting point 113°C (235 °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. Contains sulfur, may release small amounts of hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly flammable, explosive gas under certain conditions, is a toxic gas, and may be fatal. Gas can accumulate in the headspace of closed containers, use caution when opening sealed containers. Heating the product or containers can cause thermal decomposition of the product and release hydrogen sulfide. Exposure may aggravate those with pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions
