ENGINEERING MEASURES :
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples
should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL ADVICE :
The use and choice of personal protection equipment is related to the hazard of the product, the workplace and
the way the product is handled. In general, we recommend as a minimum precaution that safety glasses with
side-shields and workclothes protecting arms, legs and body be used. In addition any person visiting an area
where this product is handled should at least wear safety glasses with side-shields. The applicable European
standard can be found in EN 166.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this section, the use of a half face filter mask or air
supplied breathing apparatus is recommended. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of
chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: E The applicable European standard can be found in
EN 141, EN 143 and EN 371. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive

pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete
respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.
HAND PROTECTION :
When handling this product, the use of chemical gauntlets is recommended. The choice of work glove depends
on work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have positive experience under light handling
conditions using gloves made from PVC Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are
observed. Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers. The applicable
European standard can be found in EN 374.
SKIN PROTECTION :
When handling this product, the use of overalls, a chemical resistant apron and rubber boots is recommended.
The applicable European standard can be found in EN 345.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID :
At temperatures greater than 50°C may decompose exothermically with release of Sulphur dioxide gas.
MATERIALS TO AVOID :
SO2 may react with vapors from neutralizing amines and may produce a visible cloud of amine salt particles.,
Contact with strong acids (e.g. sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, hydrochloric, chromic, sulfonic) may generate heat,
splattering or boiling and toxic vapors.
SENSITIZATION :
Sulfites can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.

ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS :
MOBILITY :
The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program
interface) Suite TM , provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total
input and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information
provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the
defined conditions of the models. If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air,
water and soil/sediment in the approximate respective percentages;
BIOACCUMULATION POTENTIAL
This preparation or material is not expected to bioaccumulate.
