This capacitor is a manufactured electronic product that contains primarily
non-hazardous materials, including metal and plastic. Supercapacitors are
sealed, metal containers (steel or aluminum) which enclose layers of acti-
vated carbon which is saturated by an electrolyte solution, aluminum and
plastic. The electrolyte solution contains a quaternary salt compound (tetra-
ethyl aluminum tetrafluoroborate) dissolved in the solvent acetonitrile. The
assembled layers are inserted into the outer metal container and are satu-
rated with the electrolyte, sealed and stored in an uncharged state. There are
minor hazards that can arise from exposure to the activated carbon. If the
contents of these Supercapacitors remain sealed in the outer shell and they
are kept uncharged, persons handling this product will avoid most of the risks
described herein* for all hazardous components of the electrolyte. As such,
precautions should be taken to avoid rupture or overheating the sealed metal
containers.
* herein describes and refers to the Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS).
