The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible • As a result of flow, agitation, etc, electrostatic charges can be generated

May explosively decompose on shock, friction, or concussion • May explode on heating • The substance may spontaneously ignite on contact with air and on contact with hot surfaces producing toxic fumes of sulphur dioxide • Reacts violently with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard • Attacks some forms of plastic, rubber and coating
