-Skin protection: Use protective clothing.
-Environmental exposure controls: Do not release in soil, waterways or drains.
Stability and reactivity
-Conditions to avoid: Stable if the recommended conditions for use and storage are applied.
-Materials to avoid: Oxidizing agents and strong acids.
-Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition starts at 105-113 °C. Oxidation of elemental sulphur and fine-grained sulphides starts at 224 °C. On combustion and high temperatures, forms toxic and corrosive gases of sulfur oxides.
Disposal considerations
