DOT Classification: 2.3; Label: Poison Gas
1.General Description :Sulfur tetrafluoride is a colorless gas with a distinct sulfur odor. Sulfur tetrafluoride is highly toxic by inhalation and a strong irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts vigorously with water and acids to yield toxic fluoride and sulfur oxide fumes and an acidic solution. Sulfur tetrafluoride is heavier than air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may violently rupture or rocket. Sulfur tetrafluoride is used as a fluoridizing agent and as an oil repellent.
2.Air & Water Reactions: Violent reaction with water. Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts vigorously with water and acids to yield toxic fluoride and sulfur oxide fumes and an acidic solution.
3.Reactivity Profile: Sulfur tetrafluoride is a highly toxic and corrosive gas. On contact with water, steam, or mineral acids Sulfur tetrafluoride decomposes and produces toxic and highly irritating fumes. When heated to decomposition Sulfur tetrafluoride emits very toxic fluoride and sulfur oxides fumes]. Explosively violent reactions with 2-(hydroxymethyl)furan or 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol even below -50° C have been recorded.Ignition or explosion may occur on contact with dioxygen difluoride even below -100° C .
4.Health Hazard :Sulfur tetrafluoride is highly toxic by inhalation; it is a strong irritant to eyes and mucous membranes. Poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with liquid may cause frostbite.
5.Fire Hazard :Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, Sulfur tetrafluoride emits very toxic fumes of fluorides and sulfur oxides. Reacts violently with water. Sulfur tetrafluoride is decomposed by concentrated sulfuric acid. Thermostable to 1112F.
