Explosion gasket causes

Materials incompatibility is one of the most frequent causes of process incidents. Degradation of seals and gaskets that have become softened by solvent effects can lead to minor leaks or major loss of containment, and hence to fires, explosions, or more serious accidents. If seal or gasket leakage is identified in a process, then the plant engineer should consult with the manufacturer to confirm the material is suitable for the service. If necessary, all the seals or gaskets of that material should be replaced with something more resilient to the process conditions. 

If the device is not designed to use a heat resistant material, a loss of its functionality during reflow soldering may occur. The lithium alloy may react with the electrolytic solution and other components of the battery to cause abrupt bulging or explosion. Therefore, materials resistant to the reflow temperature must be used for the electrolytic solution, separator, or gasket...
