Ammonium
Sulfate MSDS
Sheet; Material Safety Data Sheet
Section1. Product Information
Product Name: Ammonium Sulphate
or Ammonium Sulfate
Synonyms: Ammonium Sulfate,
Diammonium SulfateSection 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredient: Ammonium Sulfate
CAS # 7783-20-2
% by Weight 95-100%Section 3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:
Ammonium Sulfate is
Colorless to dark brown crystals or granules. Odorless. Dust may cause
irritation to skin, eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Avoid breathing dust.
Potential Health Hazards
Skin: Irritation may result from
prolonged skin contact
Eyes: Contact with dust or mist may
cause eye irritation
Inhalation: Dust inhalation may irritate
nose, throat and lungs
Ingestion:
Ammonium Sulfate is not generally considered toxic.
If swallowed, irritation may develop in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.
The sulfate ion may cause purging.
Delayed Effects: None known
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Skin: Wash promptly with soap and
water and flush with water until chemical is removed. Remove any
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Get medical attention for
irritation.
Eyes: Flush promptly with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen if a qualified operator is available.
Get medical attention for irritation or discomfort.
Ingestion: If conscious drink 2 to 4
glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger.
Section 5. First Aid Measures
Flammable Properties
Flash Point: Not applicable
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not
applicable
Extinguishing Media: Any
standard agent may be used. If involved in a fire, flood with water.
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards: Ammonium Sulfate decomposes at elevated temperatures to produce toxic fumes of
ammonia and sulfur oxides. If mixed with strong oxidizers such as ammonium
nitrate or potassium salts (nitrite, nitrate or chlorate), a vigorous
reaction may occur. Special Fire Fighting Precaution: Since toxic gases may
be released violently at high temperatures, firefighters should wear full
protective clothing and NIOSH approved, self contained breathing apparatus.
Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER
RELEASE: (Always
wear recommended personal protective equipment). Shovel up large spills (dry
chemicals) for use or disposal. Sweep up small spills and maximize recovery.
Flush Ammonium Sulfate residue with water if permitted by applicable disposal regulations.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Normal Handling:
(Always wear recommended
personal protective equipment). Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Avoid breathing dust. Keep containers closed and avoid rough handling.
Follow good personal hygiene and housekeeping practices.
Storage Recommendations:
Store in a cool, dry
place away from strong oxidizers, such as chlorates, nitrates and nitrites.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Provide local
exhaust, if dusty conditions prevail.
Personal Protective
Equipment
Skin Protection: To minimize skin contact,
wear long sleeved shirt, trousers and gloves for routine product handling
and use.
Eye Protection: Under dusty or misty
conditions, wear chemical safety goggles. Do not wear contact lenses.
Respiratory Protection:
Where dusty or misty
conditions require it, use a NIOSH approved dust or mist respirator for
needed protection.
Additional
Recommendations:
None generally required.

- decomposes.
Incompatibles:
Oxidizers; e.g.., potassium salts
-nitrate, nitrite, chlorate, also chlorine or hypochlorite. Avoid contact
with zinc-clad, copper and copper bearing materials.
Hazardous Decomposition

and sulfur trioxide and sulfur dioxide gases.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Section 11. Toxicological Information
Immediate (Acute) Effects:
LD50 (oral-rat): 3000 mg/kg
Skin irritation - A single dermal dose of
0.5 g elicited transient (reversible) mild dermal irritation in the rabbit.
Delayed (Sub chronic and
Chronic) Effects:
Eye irritation - A single ocular dose of 100 mg elicited transient
(reversible) moderate ocular irritation in the rabbit.
There was no evidence of skin
sensitization seen in guinea pigs.

- There was no treatment
related signs of phytotoxicity and no adverse effects on seedlings noted.
Section 13. Disposal Considerations
RCRA: Is the unused product a
RCRA hazardous waste if discarded? No
Other Disposal
Considerations: One use
of ammonium sulfate is a fertilizer, therefore, waste ammonium sulfate might
be used as a fertilizer. If discarded to waterways, it may promote eutrophication. Disposal must be in accordance with applicable disposal
regulations. Users should consult with appropriate regulatory agencies
before discharging or disposing of waste material.
