2.3 Other hazards
The product is molten sulphur of purity over 99 % m/m. This is a viscous yellow/brown liquid delivered hot at temperatures above its melting point, usually in the range 140 to 160 °C. After cooling down, sulphur is a solid substance of bright yellow colour. Molten sulphur is highly adhesive to skin and in contact with it causes burns difficult to heal. Danger of molten sulphur lies also in its capability to dissolve sulphane (hydrogen sulphide) that is liberated on cooling. In such case, toxic and explosive mixture of hydrogen sulphide with air can be formed above the surface of molten sulphur. Ingestion of sulphur is hazardous due to possibility of formation of toxic hydrogen sulphide by action of intestinal microorganisms.
