Data Sheet
Exposure hazards from combustion products: In case of fire, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide and toxic organic
substances will be generated. Do not inhale fumes and smoke.
Personal protective equipments: Wear full protective clothing. Use self-contained apparatus.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Notify safety personal of large. Caustic potassium hydroxide may be released from leaking or
ruptured batteries, Avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapours. Increase the ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected person away.
Environmental precautions: Avoid discharge and penetration into sewerage systems, waterways, pits and cellars.
Methods for cleaning up: Collect spilled material with an insert standard absorbent like sand or silica. Care for
well-ventilated conditions. Recycle or dispose of the materials in an appropriate way.
7. Handing and storage
General handing: Obey the common known rules and precautions for handing with chemicals. Avoid mechanical and
electrical abuse. Do not short battery or install incorrectly. Batteries may explode, pyrolize or vent if
disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed to high temperatures. Install batteries according to
equipment instructions. Do not mix battery systems, such as alkaline and zinc-carbon. Replace all
batteries in equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in pocket or bag. Do not
remove battery labels.
Storage: Store product in well-filled, appropriate coated and tightly closed containers avoiding influence of oxygen/air,
light and humidity. Store at -20~35 . ℃
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Exposition/Technical measures: Atmospheric vapour concentrations must be minimized by adequate ventilation.
Protection of hands, eye and skin: None required under normal use conditions. When handling leaking batteries, use
neoprene, rubber or nitrile gloves and wear safety glasses to protect hands, eyes and
skin.
General safety and hygiene measures: Use only as directed.
