General guidance
Handling and storage
Supplier SDS information should be followed for dust control, skin and eye protection and storage of sodium thioglycolate. Keep the material tightly closed and protected from conditions or incompatible materials identified in the current SDS. Because sulfur-containing salts may be sensitive to storage conditions and grade, use Hamara's actual supplier SDS for definitive instructions. This summary does not replace it.
