Handling
·
Information for safe handling:
The sealed Ni-Mh battery when sleeved are safe in case of spilling.
Non-sleeved battery may generate short-circuits,causing release of alkaline electrolyte mist or liquid.
Electrolyte reacts with zinc,aluminium,tin and other active materials releasing flammable hydrogen gas.
·
Information about fire - and explosion protection:
No special measures required.
·

·
Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:
Store in a cool location.
·
Information about storage in one common storage facility:
Store away from foodstuffs.

·
Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/
the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the
degradation
·
Material of gloves:
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality
and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the
resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the
application.
·
Penetration time of glove material:
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed.
·
Eye protection:
Not required.
