
First aid resources for specific treatment to keep available: Eye wash bottles or emergency eye wash
fountains, Shower.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES PREVENTION
The lead batteries are weakly combustible due to their construction that includes polymeric
thermoplastic comprising 6-9% of the total weight. In instances of fire wear adequate means of
respiratory protection.
a) APPROPRIATE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA.
Use dry powder, foam extinguisher, CO2.
b) INAPPROPRIATE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Water, which in contact with acid can develop heat.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
a) Personal Precautions
In the case of electrolyte leak prevent contact with skin and eyes by wearing appropriate
protective equipment. Rubber gloves, rubber boots, safety goggles/face shield and acid
resistant clothing.
b) Environmental precautions
Keep the electrolyte and possible lead powder away from drains or surface water.
c) Procedure for containment and collection
Neutralise with Caustic Soda or Calcium Carbonate
Contain the spill with sand, earth or other absorbent material.
Do not use Water (sulphuric acid solution can react exothermically with water).
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep away from heat sources, sparks and open flames.
Do not store the product in sealed containers; maintain a in a well ventilated area away from direct
sunlight and well away from sources of heat.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
