SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

No exposure during routine handling of product. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused.

No effect under routine handling and use to eyes, skin or if inhaled. Ingestion is not likely, given the physical size and state of the cell. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

If exposure to internal materials within cell due to damaged outer casing the following actions are recommended:

EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately seek medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Wash area immediately with soap and water. If irritation continues see medical attention.

INHALATION: Leave area immediately and move to fresh air and seek medical attention.

INGESTION: If swallowed, contact POISON CONTROL CENTER/DOCTOR immediately.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

NFPA 704 Hazard Class HMIS

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use agent appropriate for surrounding materials.

UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: None.

PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: Organic components will burn if incinerated. Combustion of cell contents may cause evolution of Hydrogen Fluoride. In case of fire in an adjacent area, use water, CO2, or dry chemical extinguishers if cells are packed in their original containers since the fuel of the fire is basically paper products.

PROTECTION OF FIREFIGHTERS: Hydrofluoric Acid exposure during firefighting: This information is given for the use of professional fire fighters responding to a warehouse fire where fire from other materials may incinerate batteries. This section is provided solely in case of exposure, during firefighting, to the combustion by‐products.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Use standard industrial clothing in normal use. If handling large containers of cells wear steel‐toed footwear. Wear safety glasses/goggles if handling a leakage from the cell or battery. Use gas mask in case of smell. Use ventilation.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: No special precautions necessary.

METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT: Transport container outdoors. Hold burned cells and fire cleanup solids for disposal as potential hazardous waste. Unburned cells are not hazardous waste. A fire with over 100 kg of cells burnt will likely require reporting to environmental officials. Always consult and obey all international, federal and local environmental laws.

METHODS FOR CLEAN‐UP: Not applicable.

OTHER INFORMATION: No data available

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Water, heat and strong acids.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE: Hydrogen Fluoride, Phosphorus Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Lithium Hydroxide, Manganese Oxides, Aluminum Oxide, possible fluoro‐compounds, Carbon soot.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Do not crush, puncture, incinerate, immerse in water or heat over 80°C. Steel casing slowly dissolves in strong mineral acids.

POLYMERIZATION: Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Spontaneous decomposition will not occur at normal temperature.

CHEMICAL STABILITY: This product is stable.

REACTIVITY: Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Spontaneous decomposition will not occur at normal temperature.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION

LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, Eye and Skin contact There will be no contact with toxically ingredients of the battery, in case of accidental release, eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation only if burned. Hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive. Contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes is to be avoided. Permissible exposure limit is 3ppm. In case of contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes, immediately leave the area and seek first aid and emergency medical attention. Symptoms may have delayed onset. Fluoride ions penetrate skin readily causing destruction of deep tissue layers even bone. Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse conduction causing severe pain or absence of sensations. Immediately flush eyes or skin with water for at least 20 minutes to neutralize the acidity and remove some fluoride. Remove and destroy all contaminated clothing and permeable personal possessions. Before re‐use, impermeable possessions should be soaked in benzalkonium chloride after washing. Following flushing of the affected areas, an iced aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride or 2.5% calcium gluconate gel should be applied to react with the fluoride ion. Compresses and wraps may be used for areas where immersion is not practical.
