SECTION 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Substance/Mixture: Substance
Components: Lithium Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate - Ethyl Ether Complex
Percent: >70.0%(T)
CAS Number: 155543-02-5
Chemical Formula: C24BF20Li·nC4H10O
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Call emergency medical service. Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and
supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Skin contact: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin
with running water for at least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Eye contact: In case of contact with substance, immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. If eye
irritation persists get medical advice/attention. Move victim to fresh air. Check for and remove any contact
lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Effects of exposure to
substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take
precautions to protect themselves.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Loosen tight clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position so that vomit will
not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and
supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Symptoms/effects:
Acute: No data available
Delayed: No data available
Immediate medical attention: If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the
injury. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect
themselves.
SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2 , sand, earth, water spray or regular foam Consult with local fire authorities before
attempting large scale fire fighting operations.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Hazardous combustion products: These products include: Carbon oxides Halogenated compounds Borates Metallic oxides
Other specific hazards: WARNING: Highly toxic HF gas is produced during combustion.
Special precautions for fire-fighters:
May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Move containers from
fire area if you can do it without risk.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations
ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (Section 8). Warn
unnecessary personnel to move away. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Personal protective equipment: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or
equivalent. Wear protective gloves (nitrile).
Emergency procedures: Prevent dust cloud. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in the immediate
area). Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Warn personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. Stop leak if without risk. Ventilate the area. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal
container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined
areas; dike if needed.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. DO NOT expose to friction or
mechanical shock. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this product. Ground all
equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of electrostatic charge. Good general
ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Keep container dry. Handle and open container
with care. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. When using do not eat, drink,
or smoke. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store
and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep away from incompatibles.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Avoid
prolonged storage periods. Store under inert gas (e.g. Argon). Hygroscopic material, store in a tightly
sealed container.
Storage incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing agents
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limits: No data available
Appropriate engineering controls:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Ventilation is normally required when handling or using this product. Eyewash
fountains should be provided in areas where there is any possibility that workers could be exposed to the substance. Follow safe industrial
engineering/laboratory practices when handling any chemical.
Personal protective equipment
