Chip sealed in Al can which is vacuum-sealed in Al bag
Use
Clean the surface of the lithium foil using a nylon brush/stainless steel scalpel until a shiny silvery surface appears (inside an argon glovebox).
Shipping Limitations
Shipments of lithium alloy compound are described as “UN 1415, Lithium, 4.3, PG I". All shipments are Hazard Class 4.3 and require “Dangerous when wet” labels. Sea Class 4.3 (IMDG) Road, Rail Class 4.3 11a (RID/ADR)
Safety Data Sheet
Operation
The package must be open inside a glove box with Argon Gas and moisture less than 2%RH.
Notes
We reserve the right to charge an additional handling fee due to special shipping/handling requirements.
Operation and Storage: Lithium is very active in the air, please carefully read the SDS carefully.
Please use Ar gas for glovebox operation, otherwise the Li chip will react with N2 to form dark red Li3N.
Lithium chips may be oxidized during handling and storage. if you find any oxidation on the surface of the Li-chip, please use sandpaper to remove it before using it.
The lithium chips were packed in the dry room with < 2%RH. Therefore, a slight increase of O2 PPM level might be seen in the glove box when the can is opened. Please keep purging the glove box with ultra-high purity Ar until the required O2 PPM level is reached.
