Persulfate Handling and Safety Persulfates are oxidizing chemicals that require careful attention to all aspects of handling and use.

For more information, you may request a Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) which is available from any DegusaChem office and on our website at www.spsdgs.com

Personal Protective Equipment When handling persulfate chemicals, follow the guidelines listed here and in the MSDS.

Call a physician immediately. When properly handled and stored, persulfates and their solutions do not present serious health hazards.

The MSDS provides information concerning exposure, emergency, first aid, and disposal of persulfates.

Storage Persulfates should be stored in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Code. DegusaChem personnel can provide additional support in reviewing storage facilities.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS: Persulfates should be kept in a cool, dry storage area, in a configuration that is appropriate for the sprinkler capacity of the building .

Personnel should be trained to handle persulfates safely, properly dispose of spilled materials and prevent contamination. If material gets wet or spills, it must be isolated and disposed of properly.
