SECTION III FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin: Wash with mild soap and water.
Eyes: Irrigate thoroughly with copious quantities of plain water.
Inadequate irrigation may increase the irritation. Do not use Boric Acid.
SECTION IV HAZARDS INFORMATION
Inhalation: Sulfur dust may irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory passages.
Ingestion: Solid sulfur is virtually non-toxic. It can be taken internally in fairly large doses without
injury.
Skin: In some individuals, sulfur dust has an irritant action, which may be aggravated by
perspiration or moisture.
Eyes: Sulfur dust is capable of irritating the inner surfaces of the eyelids.
Permissible Concentration: None established. Unusual Chronic Toxicity: N/A

*Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Dust suspended in air is readily ignited by flame, static electricity of friction spark. Every reasonable step
must be taken to minimize dust formation. Dust tight casings should be equipped with explosion relief
vents. Sparkless electrical equipment is recommended. Handling equipment must be grounded or bonded
to avoid static electricity. Keep away from sources of flame or sparks. Detailed recommendations in
Manufacturing Chemists Association SD-74 and National Safety Council 612 Bulletins covering "Sulfur"
should be followed when handling Tiger 90.

SECTION V PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES
* Fire Extinguishing Agents Recommended:
1. A fine water spray or fog is recommended.
2. C02 or dry chemical.
3. Small fires may be smothered with sand or solid sulfur.
* Fire Extinguishing Agents to Avoid:
Hoses and extinguishers with pressure streams should be avoided where solid sulfur is dusty or where it
may create a further hazard by raising more dust clouds.
* Special Fire Fighting Precautions:
Because burning sulfur evolves sulfur dioxide, breathing apparatus or gas masks approved for use in
acid-gas atmosphere should be used. Fumes from unprotected sulfur fires shall be avoided, if possible, by
approaching for the upwind side.
* Ventilation:
Local exhaust if dusty conditions prevail.
* Normal Handling:
Avoid breathing dust and keep clothing as free from dust as possible.
* Storage:
Solid becomes corrosive to metals when stored wet. Sulfur / bentonite fertilizer will physically break down
when exposed to moisture or water.
* Spill or Leak:
Shovel into disposal containers or cover with tarp. For landfill disposal, mix with limestone 3 times the
weight of sulfur.
* Special: Precautions/Procedures/Label Instructions.
Eye wash equipment near the work area.
SECTION VI PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
* Respiratory Protection:
Dust-type respirators shall be provided for dusty conditions. Breathing apparatus must be available for
emergency use in case of fire.
* Eyes and Face:
Dust-tight goggles with plastic or rubber frames may be helpful in dusty conditions.
* Hands, Arms and Body:
Workers whose skin may be sensitive to sulfur dust should button collars, roll sleeves down, and gather
trousers at the ankle. Gloves may be helpful.
* Other Clothing and Equipment:
Hard hat and safety shoes. Fire-retardant fabric is recommended. Sulfur impregnated clothing should not
be worn.
