3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION :
The Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries described in this Material Safety Data Sheet are sealed units which MSDS No.: TS-20110201 Creation Date: 01 Feb. 2011 are not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. Under normal conditions of use, the solid electrode materials and liquid electrolyte they contain are non- reactive provided the battery integrity is maintained and seals remain intact. There is Risk of fire only in cases of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical), which leads to the activation of the safety valve and/or the rupture of the battery container. Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or battery vent/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances. In case of excessive internal pressure and/or temperature Winston batteries are fitted with a safety vent for protection and/or 3.2 Chemical
Classification of dangerous substances contained into the product as per directive 67/548/EEC DMC: 4 ° C DMC: 90 ° C established Flammable 3.2.1 – Nature of Special risks:
R42/43 May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. R43 May cause sensitization by skin contact. 3.2.2 – Safety advices:
MSDS No.: TS-20110201 Creation Date: 01 Feb. 2011 S26 In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. S 45 In case of incident, seek medical attention 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
In case of battery rupture,fume or fire, evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide maximum ventilation to clean out fumes/gases. Meantime, spray the battery with water or put the smoking battery into basin at once. Eye contact: Flush with plenty of water (eyelids held open) for at least 15 minutes. Skin contact : Remove all contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with plenty of Water and soap for at least 15 minutes Do not apply greases or ointments. Ingestion: Dilute by giving plenty of water and get immediate medical attention. Assure that the victim does not aspirate vomited material by use of positional drainage.Assure that mucus does not obstruct the airway. Do not give anything by Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and ventilate he contaminated area. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. 5 – FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and fume hazard: Except LFP series batteries, LCP and LMP batteries can leak and/or spout vaporized or decomposed and combustible electrolyte fumes in case of exposure above 150 ° C resulting from inappropriate use, abuse, or from the environment. Possible formation of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and phosphorous oxides during fire. LiPF 6 salt contained in the electrolyte releases hydrogen fluoride (HF) in contact with water. Extinguishing media: spray the battery with water or put the smoking battery into basin at once. Can be used : ………… Type D extinguishers , Co2, Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers
Special hazards : Following cell overheating due to external source or due to improper use, electrolyte leakage or battery
container rupture may occur and release inner component/material in the environment. Eye contact : The electrolyte solution contained in the battery is irritant to ocular tissues.
Skin contact: The electrolyte solution contained in the battery causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: The ingestion of electrolyte solution causes tissue damage to throat and gastro/respiratory tract.
Inhalation : Contents of a leaking or ruptures battery can cause respiratory tract, mucus, membrane irritation and edema.
Special protection: Use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid breathing irritant fumes. Wear protective clothing and equipment to prevent body contact with electrolyte solution. 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
The material contained within the batteries would only be expelled under abusive conditions. Soak under water or spray with copious amounts of water , place in approved container (after cooling if necessary) and dispose in accordance with local regulations. 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed nor incinerate since they may leak or rupture and release in the environment Handling: Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with conductive (i.e. metal) goods. Do not directly heat or solder. Do not throw into fire. Do not mix batteries of different types and brands. Do not mix new and used batteries. Keep MSDS No.: TS-20110201 Creation Date: 01 Feb. 2011 batteries in non-conductive (i.e. plastic) trays. Storage: Store in a cool (preferably below 30 ° C) and ventilated area away from moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink. Keep adequate clearance between walls and batteries. Temperature above 100 ° C may result in battery leakage and rupture. Since short circuit can cause burn, leakage and battery container rupture hazard, keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them. Other: Follow manufacturer recommendations regarding maximum recommended currents and operating temperature range. Applying pressure or deforming the battery may lead to the rupture of battery container and disassembly followed by eye, 8 - FIRE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory protection: Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery rupture, use self- contained full-face respiratory Hand protection: Not necessary under normal use. Use Viton rubber gloves if handling a leaking battery. Eye protection: Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields if handling a leaking or Skin protection: Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber apron and protective working in case of handling of a ruptured 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
