Handling and Storage
Sodium Sulfide should always be added to water — never water added to the material — and mixed slowly using cold water to control heat generation. It must be kept away from acids and oxidizing agents, since contact can release toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide gas. Protective gloves, eye protection, and adequate ventilation are essential during handling, and the product should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.
Always review the latest Safety Data Sheet before handling, storing or transporting this product.
