SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use agent appropriate for
surrounding materials.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
None.
Products of Combustion:
Organic components will burn if incinerated. Combustion of cell contents may cause evolution of
Hydrogen Fluoride. In case of fire in an adjacent area, use water, CO2, or dry chemical extinguishers if
cells are packed in their original containers since the fuel of the fire is basically paper products.
Protection of Firefighters:
Hydrofluoric Acid Exposure During Fire Fighting: This information is given for the use of professional
fire fighters responding to a warehouse fire where fire from other materials may incinerate batteries.
This section is provided solely in case of exposure, during firefighting, to the combustion by-products.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions:
Use standard industrial clothing in normal use. If handling large containers of cells wear steel-toed
footwear.
Environmental Precautions:
No special precautions necessary.
Methods for Containment:
Transport container outdoors. Hold burned cells and fire cleanup solids for disposal as potential
hazardous waste. Unburned cells are not hazardous waste. A fire with over 100 kg of cells burnt will
likely require reporting to environmental officials. Always consult and obey all international, federal
and local environmental laws.
Methods for Clean-Up:

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
