10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability:
Conditions to Avoid:
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Oxidizing agents, aluminum (at high temperatures), diazomethane, heat, sparks, open
flame, static electricity, or any other potential ignition source.
Thermal decomposition may produce: sulfur dioxide, calcium oxide,
nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrogen cyanide.
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated location. Do not store near aluminum (at high temperatures), diazomethane,
oxidizing agents or other incompatible materials. Keep away from moisture.
Eating, drinking, and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled or stored. Do not ingest and avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Avoid breathing in dust. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
A NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU) approved particulate respirator is recommended where total dust
concentration exceeds 10 mg/m
3
. Avoid breathing dust.
Stable under recommended storage conditions. Avoid excess sources of ignition, heat,
and incompatible materials. Dust suspended in air is readily ignited.
Local exhaust ventilation recommended. Running water should be available in case material gets in eyes. Wash
hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking, and using the
lavatory and at the end of the working period. Handling equipment must be grounded or bonded to avoid static
electricity. Wash clothing before reusing. Sulfur impregnated clothing should not be worn.
