SECTION 1: IDENTIFICATION.
Marine safety light systems Types L6, L6A, L7A Daniamant Limited

Unit 3, The Admiral Park, Airport Service Road, Portsmouth, Hants, PO3 5RQ UK FOR CHEMICAL EMERGENCY,SPILL,LEAK,FIRE,EXPOSURE or ACCIDENT CALL CHEMTREC Day or Night 00 1 703-527-3887 (Shipment to and from USA) Chemtrec Office. 800-424-9300 (Internal N. America movements) Chemtrec Office D806 Chemtrec Company Code 205617 Company Number Lithium powered marine safety light systems are designed to be stored for up to five years before use. The battery cells are hermetically sealed pressurised primary Lithium / Manganese Dioxide and as supplied are electronically protected by a fuse and from external environment by a moulded plastic casing. In this state the units constitute no definable hazard to health. However disassembly, abuse or destruction of the battery cell will expose the contents and the following Health And Safety Hazards.

SECTION 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION.
Lithium Metal: This is flammable when in contact with water. It reacts violently to produce hydrogen and lithium
hydroxide. Use only soda ash, sodium chloride or graphite to extinguish flames.
Manganese Dioxide: Poison by intravenous and intratracheal routes moderately toxic by subcutaneous route.
Experimental reproductive effects. A powerful oxidiser, flammable by chemical reaction. Must not be heated or rubbed in
contact with easily oxidizable matter
Propylene Carbonate:
PSDS 001 Issue 5 C6239 Page 1 of 4

1.2 Dimethoxyethane: Experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproduction effects readily forms an explosive
peroxide. A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to flame, heat or oxidisers. When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and fumes.

Lithium Perchlorate: Moderately toxic. Skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritant an oxidiser which is incompatible with
nitromethane acetone hydrogen and oxygen. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES.
EYES: Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure, rest and keep warm. In severe cases, or if exposure has been
great. Obtain medical attention.
SKIN: Wash off skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-
use. Unless contact has been slight , Obtain medical attention.
INGESTION: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink. Obtain medical
attention.
FURTHER TREATMENT: All cases of eye contamination, persistent skin irritation and casualties who have
swallowed this substance or been affected by breathing its vapours should be seen by a
doctor.
Emergency and first aid procedures: If cell vents, personnel should be evacuated from contaminated areas.
Other materials are either inert or have low hazard associated with their exposure.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES.
If cells are directly involved in fire, DO NOT USE SAND, DRY POWDER OR SODA ASH, GRAPHITE, METAL CLASS D
EXTINGUISHERS OR A FIRE BLANKET. Copious quantities of a water based foam is the only recommended
extinguishing media for fires involving cells. If a fire is in an adjacent area, and cells are packed in their original
containers, the fire can be fought based on fuelling material e.g. paper and plastic products. Avoid fume inhalation.
In the case where significant quantities of Lithium / Manganese Dioxide batteries have been involved in a fire, account
must be taken of the possibility that flammable gases might be evolved should water come into contact with the cold
battery residues. These gases might include Acetylene, Hydrogen, and Cyanide. It is recommended that ventilation
should be maximised should this scenario be realised.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: copious quantities of a water based foam.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES.
Do not breathe vapours or touch liquid with bare hands. If the skin has come into contact with the electrolyte it should be
washed thoroughly with water. Earth or sand should be used to absorb the exudation, seal leaking battery and earth in a
heavy-duty polythene bag and dispose of as special waste.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE.
Handle and store in cool well-ventilated area keep out of direct sunlight.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
HANDLING: Do not short circuit or expose to temperatures above the temperature rating of the battery. Do not recharge,
over-discharge, force discharge, immerse, puncture or crush.
STORAGE: Store in a cool place but prevent condensation on cells and batteries. Elevated temperatures can result in
shortened battery life and degrade performance. Do not store batteries in high humidity environments for long periods.
External corrosion of the Nickle plated can and tags could result in the formation of toxic metal salts. Avoid ingestion,
observe personal hygiene wash hands after contact.
