MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERY
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
GENRERAL:
In case of battery rupture, fume or fire, evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide maximum ventilation to clean out
fumes/gases. Meantime, spray th
EYES:
Wash affected eye with lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes. Rinse with saline solution if possible. Immediate hospital treatment. Consult eye
specialist.
SKIN:
Remove all contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with plenty of Water and soap for at least 30 minutes do not apply greases or
ointments. If irritation or pain persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION:
Dilute by giving plenty of water and get immediate medical attention. Assure that the victim does not aspirate vomited material by use of
positional drainage. Assure that mucus does not obstruct the airway. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air and ventilate him contaminated area. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND FUME HAZZARD
: Except LFP series batteries, LCP and LMP batteries can leak and/or spout vaporized or decomposed and combustible
electrolyte fumes in case of exposure above 150°C (302°F) resulting from inappropriate use, abuse, or from the environment. Possible formation of
hydrogen fluoride (HF) and phosphorous oxides during fire. LiPF 6 salt contained in the electrolyte releases hydrogen fluoride (HF) in contact with
water.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
: Type D extinguishers , Co2, Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE:
Put on fully protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus, goggles, fireproofing jacket and gloves.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Exposing battery cell to excessive heat, fire or over voltage condition may cause a leak, fire, hazardous
vapors and hazardous decomposition products. Damaged or opened cells or batteries can result in rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors.
SPECIAL HAZZARDS:
Following cell overheating due to external source or due to improper use, electrolyte leakage or battery container rupture may
occur and release inner component/material in the environment.
EYE CONTACT:
The electrolyte solution contained in the battery is irritant to ocular tissues.
SKIN CONTACT:
The electrolyte solution contained in the battery causes skin irritation.
INGESTION:
The ingestion of electrolyte solution causes tissue damage to throat and gastro/respiratory tract.
INHALATION:
Contents of a leaking or ruptures battery can cause respiratory tract, mucus, membrane irritation and edema.
SPECIAL PROTECTION:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid breathing irritant fumes. Wear protective clothing and equipment to prevent
body contact with electrolyte solution.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
The material contained within the batteries would only be expelled under abusive conditions. Soak under water or spray with copious amounts of water,
place in approved container (after cooling if necessary) and dispose in accordance
with local regulations.
SPILL CLEANUP METHOD:
The material contained within the batteries cells is only expelled under abusive conditions. Use a shovel and cover battery
with sand or vermiculite, place in an approved container and dispose in accordance with section 13.
