WHMIS (Lithium borohydride)

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

WHMIS 2015 classification - Note to reader
Update: 2019-12-09

  • Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases - Category 11
  • Reproductive toxicity - Category 1A2 3 4 5 6 7
    • Toxic to the development
  • Specific target organ toxicity - repeated exposure - Category 13 8 9

  • WHMIS 2015 pictogram : Flame

  • WHMIS 2015 pictogram : Health hazard

Danger

In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously (H260)
May damage fertility or the unborn child (risk of fetal cardiac malformations) (H360)
Causes damage to organs (central nervous system) through prolonged or repeated exposure (H372)

Ingredient disclosure

Comments:

There are no data available for lithium borohydride regarding its irritation or corrosion ability. However, it may form, on contact with water, a corrosive substance: lithium hydroxide.

Due to the lack of data, classifications regarding reproductive toxicity (H360) and specific target organ toxicity - repeated exposure (H372) were established by analogy to lithium carbonate.
