Product Components
Important Safety Note
: Ultracapacitors should not be opened, disassembled, crushed, burned, or exposed to high temperatures (>85°C, 185°F), and
should be operated only within their defined operating specifications. Failure to adhere to operating specifications could result in poor device
performance or unsafe operating conditions. Exposure to the components contained within the ultracapacitor could be harmful under certain
circumstances. In case of exposure to ultracapacitor contents, wash affected area for at least 15 minutes with generous amounts of water and seek medical
attention. Fires involving these types of ultracapacitors should be extinguished with CO2, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or all purpose AFFF extinguishing
media. Water may be ineffective but should be used to cool fire-exposed containers, structures and to protect personnel.
BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitors are composed of the following major components:
Electrodes:
Activated
Carbon
Separator:
Polypropylene or Cellulose
Electrolyte:
Quaternary salt (tetraethylammonium tetraflouroborate)
Organic
solvent
(acetonitrile)
Other:
Aluminum,
steel
Disposal
BOOSTCAP ultracapacitors are neither specifically listed nor exempted from government hazardous waste regulations. The only material
of possible concern is the organic solvent, which when discarded or disposed of, is a hazardous waste according to Federal regulations (40
CFR 261). It is listed as Hazardous Waste Number U003, so listed due to its toxicity and ignitability. Disposal can occur only in properly
permitted facilities. Check state and local regulations for any additional requirements, as these may be more restrictive than federal laws
and regulations.
Transportation
Ultracapacitors as articles are not specifically listed nor exempted from hazardous materials regulations (HMR). The U.S. Department of
Transportation has provided Maxwell Technologies a written determination regarding Maxwell’s PC5 and PC10 BOOSTCAP
ultracapacitor products that the materials comprising the ultracapacitors are “…in a quantity and form that does not pose a hazard in
transportation. Therefore, the ultracapacitors are not subject to the HMR.”
