This product is stable although slightly re-active with oxidising agents. Results of
decomposition are carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and water.

Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical conditions. Harmful if
swallowed or aspirated (breathed in). Used oil may contain harmful combustion by-
products and unburned fuel that will cause skin reactions as detailed for fuel. Particular
care must be taken if oil from a severely overheated engine is handled - use impervious
gloves, lab coat and safety glasses. Do not breathe vapour/spray.

Store and transport only in correctly marked containers. Keep containers tightly sealed
when not in use. Keep in a cool, well ventilated area, out of sunlight and away from naked
flames. Store well away from food-stuffs and drinking water.

Sulphuric acid battery quality 1140 – 1400sg (15-50%)
Aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid including all grades between 1140(10%) –
1400(50%)

Sulphuric Acid.


The product is considered to be stable. However it may give rise to hazardous fumes in a
fire. Violent reaction with water generates heat and may cause an explosion. Attacks
many metals liberating hydrogen gas. Combustion will generate oxides of sulphur.

Avoid contact with body tissue. Causes destruction of body tissue, severe burns.
Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of the respiratory tract. May be
fatal if swallowed, causing burns to mouth, throat and stomach. Corrosive to eyes.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation, severe
skin irritation, and respiratory irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
Section 15 - Sulphuric Acid Page 15-1
(35)

Store and transport only in correctly marked containers. Stock tanks should be bunded
separately, away from organic substances such as wood, paper, straw, and other reactive
chemicals. Prevent water or steam from entering container at all times. Store in rubber-
lined tanks for acid concentrations less than 70%. Suitable storage materials are:- PTFE,
glass. Do not store in:- metal drums, nylon, plasticised PVC.
Keep cool, out of sunlight and away from naked flames. Store well away from food-stuffs
and drinking water. Take special care to avoid discharge into drains, sewers and water-
courses

Ensure good ventilation and avoid heat sources. Gas must be positively removed from
confined spaces by fume extraction.

Total eye protection goggles, acid-resistant gloves (e.g. PVC), overalls, acid resistant
apron and rubber boots. Note that handling contaminated clothing may result in acid
burns.
No special respiratory precautions are necessary in normal use, however respiratory
protection should be used if there is a risk of uncontrolled exposure to vapour. Avoid
contact with acid mist if large quantities of batteries are being charged or if working close
to charging batteries.
15.13 Hygiene
Adopt a high standard of personal hygiene.

In case of spillage, contain using earth, sand or other inert material and transfer to
suitable containers. Arrange disposal in accordance with local regulations. Advise the
Emergency Services if the substance has entered a watercourse or sewer, or has
contaminated soil or vegetation.

15.15.1 Fire
Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Water must not enter tanks or
containers. Select extinguishing media appropriate to other materials involved.
It may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire. Violent reaction with water generates heat
and may cause an explosion. Prevent run-off from entering waterways, drains and
drinking water supplies.
Fire-fighters to wear full protective clothing and use self contained breathing apparatus.
15.15.2 Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. Gives sips of cold water or milk to
soothe the affected parts. Ingested acid must be diluted by approximately x 100, to render
harmless to tissues. Obtain medical advice immediately.
Page 15-2
Section 15 - Sulphuric Acid
(36)

Remove from further exposure. If breathing stops or shows signs of failing, give artificial
respiration. Do not use mouth to mouth ventilation. If there is difficulty in breathing, give
oxygen. Keep warm and at rest. Obtain medical attention urgently.

15.15.5 Eyes
Irrigate copiously with water or preferably eye-wash solution for at least fifteen minutes.
Seek medical advice.
15.15.6 Skin contact

Flush area with copious quantities of water, preferably under a shower. Remove
contaminated clothing, which should be washed or dry-cleaned before re-use.
Obtain medical attention if blistering or redness persists.
15.15.7 Spillage
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate the area to dispel possible toxic
decomposition fumes. Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material.
Transfer to suitable container for disposal in accordance with local regulations as directed
under Environmental Protection. Advise Authorities if spillage has entered water courser
or sewer, or has contaminated soil or vegetation.
15.16 Special Note: Identification of Usage

IMPORTANT: care must be taken to identify that the sulphuric acid 'battery electrolyte' or
'electrolyte' is the correct substance for use in a battery. A violent chemical reaction will
occur if sulphuric acid is accidentally mixed with alkaline battery electrolyte.
15.17 Special Note: Concentrated Sulphuric Acid

In some cases, sulphuric acid may be purchased in concentrated form. This is a clear
viscous liquid. Do not attempt to add this type of acid to batteries. Dilution should only be
attempted by experienced personnel. DO NOT ADD WATER TO ACID - a violent reaction
will occur. If spillage of concentrated acid occurs contact emergency services immediately
and quote hazard code 1830.
15.18 Special Note: Lead

Lead acid batteries contain significant quantities of metallic lead, which is harmful.
Provided that the battery is not dismantled in any way, there is no risk of heavy metal
poisoning from batteries. Use gloves when connecting and adopt a high standard of
personal hygiene. Batteries can be recycled, and used batteries should be disposed of in
accordance with local authority environmental health regulations.
