Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
sealed matal case containinglithium transition metal oxidate aslithium cobaltate NOTE: Not every product includes all of these ingredients Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
• For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
• Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
EYE
■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
• Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
• Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids.
• Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
• Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
SKIN
■ If skin contact occurs:
• Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
• Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
• Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
• If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
• Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
• Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid
procedures.
• Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket
mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
■ Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
■ Metal dust fires need to be smothered with sand, inert dry powders.
DO NOT USE WATER, CO2 or FOAM.
• Use DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride based extinguishers, G-1 or Met L-X to smother fire.
• Confining or smothering material is preferable to applying water as chemical reaction may produce flammable and explosive
• DO NOT use halogenated fire extinguishing agents.
FIRE FIGHTING
• Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
• Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
• Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
• Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
Slight hazard when exposed to heat, flame and oxidisers.

•Type AX Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)
EYE
• Safety glasses with unperforated side shields may be used where continuous eye protection is desirable, as in laboratories;
spectacles are not sufficient where complete eye protection is needed such as when handling bulk-quantities, where there is adanger of splashing, or if the material may be under pressure • Chemical goggles.whenever there is a danger of the material coming in contact with the eyes; goggles must be properly fitted• Full face shield (20 cm, 8 in minimum) may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes; these afford • Alternatively a gas mask may replace splash goggles and face shields.
HANDS/FEET
■ Wear protective gloves, eg. PVC.
OTHER
• Overalls.
• P.V.C. apron.
• Barrier cream.
• Skin cleansing cream.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
■ Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be
fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
EYE
■ There is evidence that material may produce eye irritation in some persons and produce eye damage 24 hours or more after
instillation. Severe inflammation may be expected with pain. There may be damage to the cornea. Unless treatment is prompt and
adequate there may be permanent loss of vision. Conjunctivitis can occur following repeated exposure.
SKIN
■ This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Irritation and skin reactions are possible with sensitive skin.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects.
Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
■ The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung
damage.
Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
■ Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related
systemic problems.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general
population.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational
exposure.
There is some evidence to suggest that this material directlycauses cancer in humans.
Lithium compounds can affect the nervous system and muscle. This can cause tremor, inco-ordination, spastic jerks and very brisk
reflexes. They may cause birth defects and should not be used when pregnancy is suspected. They are effective in treating manic
episodes of bipolar disorder. Restricting sodium in the diet increases the risks of taking lithium.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
■ No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
• Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:• If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
• Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
