Potential health effects

Eye May cause eye irritation. Skin May cause skin irritation. Inhalation May cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion No hazard in normal industrial use. 1 3) First aid measures General information In case of persisting adverse effects, consult a physician. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately, and launder thoroughly before reusing. After inhalation Remove from exposure. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial if breathing is difficult give Oxygen. Get medical attention. After skin contact Wash with soap and water. After eye contact Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. After ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Seek medical advice immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 4) Firefighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide (NCM) is difficult to combust. Extinguishing measures to suit surroundings. Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, its combustion products or from resulting gases In the event of fire, the following can be released: Carbon dioxide (CO2) Water (H2O) Special protective equipment for firefighting As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/ NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. 5) Accidental release measures Personal precautions Refer to the protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. High risk of inhalation due to toxic material. 2 Environmental precautions Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Methods for cleaning up/taking up Pick up mechanically. Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal. 6) Handling and storage Handling Advice on safe handling Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn. Advice on protection against fire and explosion Dust can form an explosive mixture with air. Take precautionary measures against static charges. Keep away from sources of heat and ignition.

Storage

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Always keep in containers of same material as the original one. Further information on storage conditions Keep container tightly closed and dry. 7) Exposure controls/personal protection Exposure limit values Cathode material Ingredients Formula CAS# Lithium nickel cobalt LiNixCoyMnzO2 182442-95-1 manganese oxide Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide(NCM) TWA 2 mg/m3 LIMITS FOR AIR CONTAMINANTS
