Lithium hydride.....

Lithium metal.

Lithium silicon..

Characteristic properties, cautions, markings required

Table E-Classification:

Label required

Odorless, gray lumps or powder. Yellow.. Combustible, burns quietly.

Evolves gas when in contact with

moisture. The gas forms in-
flammable mixture with air,
over a wide range.

Do not stow with explosives,
inflammable liquids (red
label), or acids (white label).
Keep cool and dry.
Very light, soft metal.
Burns with intense white flame.
Reacts readily with moisture to
evolve an inflammable gas.
Do not stow with explosives,
combustible materials, or
acids (white label).
Keep cool and dry.

Black, shiny lumps, or powder
with sharp irritating odor.
Reacts readily with water to
evolve an inflammable gas.

Under certain conditions enough heat is generated to ignite the gas mixture in air.

Do not stow with explosives, combustible materials, or acids (white label).

Keep cool and dry.
