Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, Sparks, Open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Proper
grounding procedures to avoid static electricity should be followed. Prevent dust accumulation (to minimize
explosion hazard). Avoid generating dust.
Other Hazards:
It contains a small amount of Hydrogen Sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a fatal and highly flammable gas with a
rotten egg odor that quickly causes odor fatigue. Heating of this product and storage under elevated
temperatures or over long periods of time may release higher amounts of Hydrogen Sulfide. Hydrogen
Sulfide is also an asphyxiant. Exposure may aggravate preâ??existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions.
Storage:
(1) Prevent from moisture absorption, keep away from heat, keep in air well â?? ventilated area.
(2) Do not contact with acids and alkaline substance, protect from dust.
(3) Ensure bags are kept in sealed and in good condition.

Sulphur is mostly produced in refineries as a by-product and used mainly to produce sulfuric acid which is widely used in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers and used to make detergents, plastics, and other products.
Granular or granule sulphur is a form of sulphur that easy to handle, has a custom shape and seems like pea grains. Granular sulphur is also produced in refineries but with an additional process with respect to lump sulphur. Molten liquid sulphur is sprayed in granulator unit and exposed to a rapid cooling where sulphur particles are created.
Sulphur Pastilles are hemispherical shaped granules formed from pure molten sulphur using a drop-forming process. Granulation or pastillation as a method for producing bulk solid sulphur is often found in facilities where raw elemental sulphur is processed into a final or intermediate product, or in facilities (such as oil refineries) where Sulphur is being recovered as a by-product from another production process.
Sulphur pastilles are used in the production of sulfuric acid, phosphate fertilizers, plant protection products as well as in the steel, paper and food industries.
