SULFUR (Molten)

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. In case of breathing difficulties administer oxygen. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.

Symptoms: This product may liberate toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide gas. Toxic if inhaled. Irritation of respiratory tract.

After contact with the molten product, cool rapidly with cold water. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose of safely. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: The hot liquid may cause severe skin burns.

Rinse immediately and plentifully with water, also under the eyelids, for at least 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Consult an ophtalmologist if irritation persists.

Unlikely route of exposure. If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting.

For small fire: carbon dioxide (CO₂). Dry powder. For large fire: Water spray. Foam.

Do not use a water jet since it may cause the fire to spread.

At elevated temperature (approx. 250 °C and above) sulfur becomes flammable.

Cool down the containers exposed to heat with a water spray.

Evacuate area. Stop leak if safe to do so. Provide adequate ventilation.

Avoid release to the environment.

Do not wash off with soap or other alkaline cleaning agents. Mechanically recover the product. Collect in closed containers for disposal.

Use product in a well-ventilated area only. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Handling this product may result in electrostatic accumulation. Use proper grounding procedures. Caution! Hot molten mass. Product may release hydrogen sulphide: A specific assessment of inhalation risks from the presence of hydrogen sulphide in tank headspaces, confined spaces, product residue, tank waste and waste water, and unintentional releases should be made to help determine controls appropriate to local circumstances. Risk of thermal burns on contact with molten product.

Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated area.

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of mists and/or vapors below the recommended exposure limits.

Wear suitable gloves tested to EN 374. Breakthrough times and swelling properties of the material must be taken into consideration. Nitrile-rubber protective gloves. Consult glove manufacturer s product information on material suitability and material thickness.

Wear eye glasses with side protection according to EN 166.

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear a respirator conforming to EN140 with Type A/P2 filter or better
