Under normal condition of use of the batteries, the electrode materials and the liquid electrolyte they contained are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is T-36-05, SOCl2, general woIS, Rev B 1/7 Revised- 21/04/2010 TQM TQM Q u a l i t y F i r s t maintained. Risk of exposure exists only in case of mechanical, electrical or thermal abuse. Thus the batteries should not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse in water, force discharge, or expose to temperatures above the temperature range of the cell or battery. In these cases there is risk of fire or explosion SECTION 4- FIRST AID MEASURES In case of battery rupture, explosion, or major leakage, evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide good ventilation to clear out corrosive fumes, gases or the pungent odor. Seek immediate medical attention. Eyes - First rinse with plenty of water for 15 minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), and then seek medical attention. Skin - Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin with plenty of water or shower for 15 min. Refer to medical attention. Inhalation - Remove to fresh air, rest, and half-upright position, use artificial respiration if needed, and refer to medical attention. Ingestion - rinse mouth, DO NOT induce vomiting, give plenty of water to drink, and refer to medical attention. SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT: NA LOWER (LEL): NA FLAMMABLE LIMIT IN AIR: NA UPPER (LEL): NA EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: 1. Lith- X (Class D extinguishing media) is the only effective on fires involving a few lithium batteries. If the cells are directly involved in a fire DO NOT USE: WATER, SAND, CO , HALON, and DRY POWDER OR SODA ASH EXTINGUISHERS. 2 2. If the fire is in adjacent area and the cells that are either packed in their original containers or unpacked, the fire can be fought based on fueling material, e.g., paper and plastic products. In these cases the use of copious amounts of cold water is effective extinguishing media. Storage area may also employ sprinkler system with cold water. AUTO-IGNITION: NA SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid breathing of irritant fumes (NIOSH approved SCBA & full protective equipment). Wear protective clothing and equipment to prevent body contact with electrolyte solution. Fire may be fought, but only from safe fire-fighting distance. Evacuate all persons from immediate area of fire. UNUSUAL EXPLOSION AND FIRE EXPLOSION: Battery may explode when subject to: excessive heat (above 150C), recharged, over-discharged (discharge below 0V), punctured and crushed. During thermal decomposition generation of chlorine (Cl ), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and sulfur dioxide (SO ) can be formed. 2 2 SECTION 6- SPILL OR LEAKAGE PROCEDURES T-36-05, SOCl2, general woIS, Rev B 2/7 Revised- 21/04/2010
