SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

 Appearance/Odor: Solid article, odorless

 WARNING: No exposure during routine handling of product. Hydrofluoric Acid Exposure During

Fire Fighting: 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.

 Flammable: Organic components will burn if cell is incinerated. Combustion of cell contents may

cause evolution of Hydrogen Fluoride.

Material Safety Data Sheet

May be used to comply with

OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200.

This standard must be consulted for specific requirements.

 Potential Health Effects: Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse conduction causing severe pain or

absence of sensations

 Likely Routes of Exposure: Eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation. Hydrofluoric acid is

extremely corrosive. Contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes is to be avoided. Perm issible 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. Medicated dressing should be changed every 2 minutes. Exposure to hydrofluoric acid fumes

sufficient to cause pain requires immediate hospitalization for monitoring for pulmonary edema.

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.

Eye Contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes.

Skin Contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash with soap and water

Inhalation: N/A

Ingestion: Ingestion is not likely, given the physical size and state of the cell.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

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 Fire Fighting: 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.

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:

Other Information:

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:

Use only approved charging equipment. Do not disassemble battery or battery pack. Do not puncture,
