In case of fire, wear self contained breathing apparatus Acrylonitrile Butadine Styrene (ABS) None N/A Temp over 527F (300C) may release combustible gases. In case of fire, wear self contained breathing apparatus Section 5 - Reactivity Data Unstable Conditions to Avoid Stability Stable Prolonged overcharge on high current, ignition sources. Sulfuric acid x remains stable at all temperatures Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Sulfuric acid: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts violently with strong reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers, and water. Contact with metals may product toxic sulfur dioxide fumes and may release flammable hydrogen gas. Lead Compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenates, potassium nitrate, permanganate, peroxides, nascent hydrogen, and reducing agents. Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts Sulfuric acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Lead Compounds: High temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor, or dust contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas. Hazardous Polymerization. Polymerization: Sulfuric acid will not polymerize Decomposition Products: Sulfuric Dioxide, Trioxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Hydrogen. Conditions to Avoid: Prohibit smoking, sparks, etc. from battery charging area. Avoid mixing acid with other chemicals. Section 6 - Health Hazard Data Routes of Entry Sulfuric acid: Harmful by all routes of entry Lead compounds: Hazardous Exposure can occur only when product is heated, oxidized, or otherwise processed or damaged to create dust, vapor or fume. Inhalation Sulfuric acid: Breathing sulfuric acid vapors and mists may cause severe respiratory problems. Lead compounds: Dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract or lungs. Fiberglass Separator: Fiberglass is an irritant to the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10F/ use MSA Comfoll with type H filter. Above 10F use Ultra Twin with type H filter. This product is not considered carcinogenic by NTP or OSHA. Skin Contact Sulfuric acid: Severe irritation, burns and ulceration. Lead compounds: Not absorbed through the skin Continued on next page
