is a black powder.
EC, BC is a colorless, odorless liquid.
DME is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor.
Flash Point (°C): DME: -1
Extinguishing Media: Water
Flammable Limits: Not available
Special Fire Fighting Procedure: In case of fire in an adjacent area, use water, CO

or dry chemical
extinguishers if cells are packed in their original containers since the fuel of
the fire is basically paper products. For bulk quantities of unpackaged cells
use LITH-X (Graphite Base). In this case, do not use water.
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Do not heat, disassemble or charge.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-products: N/A
Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation Yes
Skin Yes
Ingestion Yes
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
These chemicals are contained in a sealed can. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or
electrically abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents.
DME is believed to be slightly to moderately toxic, and EC and BC are considered to be non-toxic but moderately
irritating to the eyes. LiCF

is irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Contact of electrolyte and extruded
lithium with skin and eyes should be avoided.
Carcinogenicity:
NTP: None IARC Monograph: None OSHA Regulated: None
Signs / Symptoms of Exposure:
DME may be a reproductive hazard. Lithium can cause thermal and chemical burns upon contact with the skin.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
An acute exposure will not generally aggravate any medical condition.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
In case of skin contact with contents of battery, flush immediately with water. For eye contact, flush with copious
amounts of water for 15 minutes. Do not inhale leaked material. If irritation persists, get medical help.
