Keep away from fire, sparks and flame. Material is corrosive to ferrous and mild steel materials. All handling and storage equipment should be constructed of stainless steel, aluminum, or poly-type materials. Keep containers closed. Keep moisture away from bottoms of tanks.
Material can accumulate electrostatic charges which can cause incendiary discharge.
Electrostatically ground storage and transfer vessels. Molten sulfur storage tanks should be provided with an inert gas system for extinguishing fires that may occur in the tank. The inert agent can be carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or steam. When transferring molten sulfur, work in well-ventilated areas, away from any sparks or flames. Vapor spaces above molten sulfur can contain hydrogen sulfide, a toxic and flammable gas.
