Applications
Sodium hydrosulfide is used as a reactive form of sulfur and acts as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals,
including thio-chemicals used in textile processing, in the production of flame retardant resins, and in vulcanization
accelerators. Sodium hydrosulfide is also used as a processing aid in the production of a variety of industrial products. It is
a de-hairing agent in the production of fine leathers. In mining, it is a flotation agent, helpful in the precipitation of
metals from ore slurries. Sodium hydrosulfide is also valuable as a raw material in the production of heat-resistant plastics
for the auto and electronic industries. In paper making, Sodium hydrosulfide is used to add sulfidity to cooking liquor in
kraft pulp mills.

Storage
Store under nitrogen atmosphere in closed storage tanks. Requirements regarding storage tank design are available on
request.

Safety and handling


Sodium Hydrosulfide 40% is classified as a hazardous substance. Although hydrogen sulfide (H2S) forms a stable bond
with caustic in the NaSH solution, toxic vapor concentrations of H2S above the liquid are possible and typical for high
quality NaSH solutions. For this reason NaSH should always be handled in closed systems under inert gas while vapors
should be treated before venting into the air. Tank containers should not be opened at any time unless the tank is
properly decontaminated. See our safety data sheet (SDS) for further information.
