    This safety data sheet provides information on ammonia leak detectors. The detectors are yellow to buff sticks impregnated with sulfur that are lit to detect ammonia leaks. Inhalation of the sulfur dioxide fumes produced when lit can irritate the nose, throat and lungs. Skin and eye irritation is also possible. The detectors have a flash point of 405°F and autoignition temperature of 450°F. Proper handling and storage is required to avoid explosive mixtures with oxidizing materials.

    The document provides safety information about ammonia leak detectors including their physical properties, health hazards, safe handling and use, and disposal.

    The ammonia leak detectors, also known as sulfur tapers, are used to detect leaks of ammonia gas. They are yellow sticks impregnated with sulfur that produce sulfur dioxide gas when ignited, acting as visual indicators of ammonia leaks.

    Potential health hazards from the ammonia leak detectors include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs from the sulfur dioxide gas produced when ignited. Repeated skin contact may also cause irritation.

    NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: N/A

    SECTION IV- FIRST AID MEASURES

    INGESTION: If large amounts are swallowed, call a physician.


    INHALATION: Move to fresh air, should irritation or symptoms persist consult a physician.
    SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Consult a physician if symptoms persist.
    EYES: Flush eyes with clean water thoroughly. Consult a physician if irritation persist.
