16 Miscellaneous data
The data rendered above are ba-
sed on today’s knowledge, and
do not constitute an assurance
of properties. Existing laws and
regulations have to be observed
by the recipient of the product in
own responsibility.
5 Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents
in case of surrounding fires:
CO
2
and solid existinguishing
agent.
6 Measures to be taken in
case of unintentional
release
Cleaning / take-up procedures:
Use a bonding agent, such as
sand, to absorb spilt acid; use
lime / sodium carbonate for neu-
tralisation, dispose with due
regard to the official local regu-
lations.
7 Handling and storage
Store frost-free under roof. Seek
agreement with local water
authorities in case of larger quan-
tities. Observe VAWS.
10 Stability and reactivity
of the sulphuric acid
(30 . . . 38.5 %)
– Corrosive, inflammable liquid.
– Thermal decomposition at
338 ˚C.
– Destroys organic materials,
such as cardboard, wood,
textiles.
– Reacts with metals producing
hydrogen.
– Vigorous reactions with lyes
and alkalis.
11 Data on the toxicology
of the constituents
– acts intensely caustic on skin
and mocous membranes, in
low concentration already.
The inhalation of mists may
cause damage to the
respiratory tract.
12 Data on the ecology
of the constituents
– Water-polluting liquid within
the meaning of the German
Water Resources Act
– Water pollution class: 1
(mildly water polluting).
– In order to avoid damage to
the sewage system, the acid
has to be neutralised by
means of lime or sodium
carbonate before disposal.
– Ecological damage is
possible by change of pH.
13 Instructions for
processing / disposal
– The batteries have to be pro-
cessed / disposed of with re-
gard to the official local regu-
lations.
