Section 2
Appearance/Odor
Clear Liquid with Sharp Pungent Odor SECTION IV: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA: Flash Point: Not Combustible NFPA WARNING: 1 Auto Ignition Temperature N/A Flammability Limits in Air % by Volume: N/A Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical Carbon Dioxide, Water Fog, Water Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Sulfuric Acid Fumes, Sulfur Dioxide Gas or Carbon Monoxide may be released when acid decomposes. Wear NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus. Unusual Hazards: Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to spatter. Wear full-cover acid resistant clothing. Sulfuric acid reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides, fulminates, picrates and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive/flammable hydrogen gas. This reaction is intensified when sulfuric acid is diluted with water to form battery electrolyte. SECTION V: REACTIVITY DATA Stability: STABLE NFPA WARNING: 0 CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Charging and over-charging without proper ventilation. Incompatibility: AVOID COMBUSTIBLES, ORGANIC MATERIALS, AND STRONG REDUCING AGENTS. Hazardous Decomposition Products: SULFUR TRIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, SULFURIC ACID FUMES AND SULFUR DIOXIDE. Hydrogen, Arsine, Stibene with over charging. Hazardous Polymerization: Should not occur SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation - Yes NPFA WARNING: 3 Skin Yes Ingestion Yes HEALTH HAZARDS - Acute: Eyes, Skin, Respiratory System & Digestive System Chronic: Eyes, Skin, Respiratory System & Digestive System Exposure to Lead Compounds can occur only when product is heated, oxidized or other-wised processed or damaged to create dust vapor or fume. Lead is a systemic poison. Carcinogenicity - NTP: No Carcinogenicity - IARC: Yes (Group 2 B *94-4* Carcinogenicity -OSHA: No Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Irritation of Exposed Area, Burns, and Respiratory Problems No possibility of over exposure of lead will occur unless battery is destroyed. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY: Aggravated by Exposure: Exposure to acid mist may cause lung damage & aggravate pulmonary conditions.
