EU REACH SVHC Communication SVHC Substance Name: 1,2-dimethoxyethane (EGDME)
Use: Incorporated in a lithium battery as electrolyte solvent
EINEC Number: 203-794-9
CAS Number: 110-71-4
Concentration: The battery contains EGDME –SVHC in a concentration ranging from 1.0
to 10.0% by weight. Because the battery is sealed, 100% of the EGDME-SVHC is
contained in the battery.
Safe Handling: Do not open the battery or disassemble it. Do not expose to fire or high
temperatures (>60°C). At end of life, the battery should be taken back to the nearest
collection point established by a National Collection Scheme used for batteries.
