Routes of Entry

Sulfuric acid: Harmful by all routes of entry
Lead compounds: Hazardous Exposure can occur only when product is heated, oxidized, or otherwise processed or

damaged to create dust, vapor or fume.

Inhalation

Sulfuric acid: Breathing sulfuric acid vapors and mists may cause severe respiratory problems.
Lead compounds: Dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract or lungs.
Fiberglass Separator: Fiberglass is an irritant to the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10°F/ use

MSA Comfoll with type H filter. Above 10°F use Ultra Twin with type H filter. This product is not considered carcinogenic by
NTP or OSHA.

Skin Contact

Sulfuric acid: Severe irritation, burns and ulceration.
Lead compounds: Not absorbed through the skin

Stability

Unstable

Conditions to Avoid

Stable

x

Prolonged overcharge on high current, ignition sources. Sulfuric acid

remains stable at all temperatures

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)

Sulfuric acid: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts violently with

strong reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers, and water. Contact with metals may product toxic sulfur
dioxide fumes and may release flammable hydrogen gas.
Lead Compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenates, potassium nitrate, permanganate,
peroxides, nascent hydrogen, and reducing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts

Sulfuric acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide.
Lead Compounds: High temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor, or dust;

contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas. Hazardous
Polymerization.

Polymerization: Sulfuric acid will not polymerize

Decomposition Products: Sulfuric Dioxide, Trioxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Hydrogen.

Conditions to Avoid: Prohibit smoking, sparks, etc. from battery charging area. Avoid mixing acid with other chemicals.
