Security Datasheet

8. Exposure limits and personal protective equipment
8.1 Lead and Lead compounds
No exposure to lead and lead compounds during normal conditions of use.
8.2 Electrolyte (Sulphuric Acid)
Exposure to sulphuric acid and acid mist might occur during filling and charging.
Threshold value in workplace: occupational exposure limits for sulphuric acid mist are regulated
on a national basis.

Lead and Lead compounds used in Lead-Acid batteries are poorly soluble in water, Lead can be
dissolved in an acidic or alkaline environment only.
10. Stability and Reactivity (sulphuric acid, 30 – 38.5 %)
 Corrosive, non-flammable liquid.
 Thermal decomposition at 338° C.
 Destroys organic materials such as cardboard, wood, textiles.
 Reacts with metals, producing hydrogen.
 Vigorous reactions on contact with sodium hydroxide and alkalis.
