Use product outdoors or in well ventilated area. Take any precaution to avoid mixing with acids, combustibles, oxidizers. For further information, please refer to our Safety Data Sheet.
This aqueous calcium polysulfide solution consists of multiple sulfur anions that strongly bond to heavy metals in water and soil. The metal sulfides formed have an extremely low solubility and persist as stable solids.
REMOTOX® is a calcium polysulfide liquid solution with a typical pH of 11.5. The solution is deep red in color and may have a slight rotten egg odor. Typical weight of the solution is 10.6 pounds per U.S. gallon (1.27 gm/cc). The concentration (active ingredient) of the solution is 29% by weight.
