Detailed Information of BioPin's MSDS Document——Take Example of 1060-H18 0.012mm battery aluminum foil

In this post, we break down the actual MSDS of BioPin’s 1060-H18 0.012mm battery aluminum foil, item by item, so you know exactly what the document is telling you — and how to use it when qualifying a supplier.

1. What is an MSDS/SDS?

An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), globally harmonized as SDS (Safety Data Sheet) under the GHS system, is a document that describes:

a. What the material is made of.

b. Whether it is hazardous.

c. How to handle, store, transport, and dispose of it safely.

d. Emergency and first-aid information.

It is not a quality report (that's the COA). It is a safety & compliance document — and for battery materials exported to the EU, US, India or Korea, EHS and procurement teams will almost always ask for it.

2. Product identification

From the MSDS of this foil:

1060 is a commercially pure aluminum alloy (99.6% Al minimum). The H18 temper indicates a hard-worked, strain-hardened state, giving the foil the strength and flatness needed for battery winding.

3. Composition — the chemistry behind the foil

The MSDS lists the alloy composition with CAS numbers:

Because the foil is 99.6%+ aluminum, its composition is clean and low in impurities — a key reason 1060 is preferred for battery foil applications.

4. Hazard classification — is it dangerous?

According to the MSDS, this product is classified as non-hazardous:

a. Hazard class: None — the product presents no hazard.

b. Entry routes: No inhalation, ingestion, or skin-contact risk under normal use.

c. Health hazards: No toxic poisoning symptoms from normal exposure.

d. Environmental hazards: None under normal use.

e. Flammability/explosion: No fire or explosion hazard.

This is typical for aluminum foil in solid form — a major advantage when shipping and handling battery materials.

5. Physical & chemical properties

6. Storage & handling — what buyers must know

The MSDS gives specific guidance that matters in real production:

a. Sharp edges: Never touch the foil's sharp cut edges with bare hands — always use protective gloves.

b. Handle gently: Load and unload lightly; avoid strong vibration and impact, which cause dents, scratches, and edge damage.

c. Keep dry & protected: Store in a stable place protected from rain, moisture and high temperatures to preserve surface quality and strength.

d. No heavy stacking: Never pile heavy objects on top of foil coils.

7.  Transport & disposal

a. Packaging: Wooden box.

b. Disposal: Handle in accordance with local regulations; waste foil is recovered by professional recyclers (aluminum is fully recyclable).

8. Why you should always request the MSDS/SDS from your supplier

a. Compliance: EHS, customs and logistics teams need it for import/export clearance.

b. Safety: It defines handling, storage and emergency procedures for your plant.

c. Supplier credibility: A complete, professional MSDS signals that the manufacturer follows standards — a quick but meaningful filter when shortlisting suppliers.

Tip: Ask for the COA (quality report) and the SDS/MSDS (safety sheet) together — they answer different questions and should both be in your supplier qualification package.

Key takeaways

BioPin’s MSDS of 1060-H18 0.012mm battery aluminum foil shows a non-hazardous, high-purity aluminum alloy (99.6%+ Al) with clean composition.
