Hazardous Ingredients:
Material Name/CAS no. % OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
None
First Aid Measures:
Effects of Exposure
Ingestion: May irritate gastrointestinal tract. Very large doses cause violent colic,
diarrhea, depression, and death.
Eye Contact: Dust or mist contact may irritate, burn eyes. Solution contact burn eyes.
Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged contact with dust may cause irritation. Contact
with solution will irritate.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust or mist may irritate respiratory tract.
Emergency First Aid
Ingestion: If conscious, give plenty of water or milk. Induce vomiting by
touching finger to back of throat. Get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water, continuing for at least 16
minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Promptly flush with plenty of soap and water.
Inhalation: Promptly remove to fresh air.
Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point/Method: Not flammable.

AM-88 MSDS (continued)
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
approved by NIOSH
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: At high temperatures or reducing conditions,
Sodium sulfide residues are formed. This is an
explosive hazard and strongly alkaline in contact
with water.
Accidental Release Measures:
Spill or Leak Procedures:
Promptly sweep up with minimum dusting and shovel into an empty container and close.
Cautiously spray residue with plenty of water. Provide ventilation to clear sulfur dioxide
fumes which will be generated as a result of water contact.
Waste Disposal:
Neutralize with alkali and flush to sewer with plenty of water if permitted by applicable
disposal regulations. Good ventilation is required during neutralization because of the
release of SO2 gas. Oxidation to sodium sulfate solution may be required such as by
adding a slight excess of dilute hydrogen peroxide carefully and with stirring.
Neutralized waste may have to be disposed of by an approved contractor.
Handling and Storage:
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing. Avoid breathing dust or mist. Use normal
personal hygiene and housekeeping. Keep away from water or acids or heat. Store in a
cool dry, well-ventilated space away from acids and oxidizing agents. (Try to avoid
tendency of this product to cake).
Exposure Control/ Personal Protection:
Ventilation: Local exhaust if dusty or misty condition prevails.
The TLV may be exceeded without visual warning.
Respiratory Protection: When required, use NIOSH-approved respirator for
dust, mist, and/or sulfur dioxide gas, as conditions
indicate. Some exposures may require NIOSH-
approved self-contained breathing apparatus or
supplied-air respirator.
Protective Clothing: For handling dry material, wear cotton gloves and
full work-clothing, including long-sleeved shirt and
trousers. When handling solutions and there is
prolonged or repeat contact, wear impervious
gloves, clothing, and boots.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles. Do not wear contact
lenses.
Other Protective Equipment: Wear hard hat or other head covering, Eye-wash

facility.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
Appearance and Odor: Fine white granular powder w/pungent sulfur dioxide gas odor.
Physical State: Solid
Boiling Point: Decomposes above 150潞C.
pH (1% soln.): 4.3
Specific Gravity 1.48
Solubility in Water: 39% at 16潞C
Stability and Reactivity:
Stability: Stable.
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers, e.g. sodium nitrate: cause strong
exothermic reaction. Acids: yield sulfur dioxide gas,
which is toxic, corrosive, and an oxidizer.
Hazardous Sulfur dioxide gas. Sodium sulfide residue formed at high
Decomposition Products: temperatures or under reducing conditions. This is an
explosive hazard and strongly alkaline in contact with
water.
Hazardous Will not occur.
Polymerization:
Conditions to Avoid: Temperatures above 150潞C: causes evolution of toxic
and corrosive gas (Sulfur Dioxide).
