SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION
PHYSICAL HAZARDS Organic Peroxide. Decomposition
HEALTH HAZARDS Severe Irritant
EXPOSURE LIMITS Both ACGIH and OSHA PEL have not been established for this chemical.
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
Skin Contact May cause severe skin irritation, including redness and swelling, drying, scaling,
thickening, depigmentation, and hair loss.
Eye Contact May cause severe eye irritation, including redness and swelling.
Ingestion May cause severe irritation.
Inhalation May cause severe irritation, especially to mucus membranes.
EFFECTS OF OVER-EXPOSURE No known applicable information.
SECTION 4 - FIRST-AID MEASURES
Skin Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water.
Eyes Remove any contact lenses at once. Flush eyes with water for at least 20 - 30
minutes and seek medical attention.
Ingestion Contact a physician, hospital or Poison Control Center at once. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. If conscious and not convulsing, give a glass of milk or water.
Inhalation Immediately remove to fresh air, if coughing, breathing becomes labored, irritation
develops or other symptoms develop, seek medical attention at once, even if
symptoms develop several hours after the exposure.
SECTION 5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT 176潞F (80掳C) SETA CC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS Unknown
AUTOIGNITION POINT Unknown
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water from a safe distance - preferably with a fog nozzle. In case of very small fires,
other means such as carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical extinguishers may be
effective.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING Firemen should be equipped with protective clothing and SCBA's. During a fire,
PROCEDURES irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. In case of fire near storage area, cool the containers with water spray.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
EXPLOSION HAZARDS decomposition or combustion. The heat of decomposition of the peroxides adds to
the heat of the fire. Caution should be observed due to possible unexpected increases
in fire intensity. Chemicals may explode when exposed to heat.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Refer to
EVENT OF SPILL OR protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Spilled material should be swept up
RELEASE with an inert, moist diluent such as perlite, vermiculite, or sand. Keep spilled
material from entering drains, sewers, streams, etc. Carefully collect the material
and transfer into a clean polyethylene lined or a polyethylene drum disposal
container. Add water to container. Label container and store in a secure area for
proper disposal.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING Rotate stock using the oldest material first. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
clothing. Avoid breathing vapors and use with adequate ventilation. Use PPE as
specified in Section 8. Keep containers closed to prevent contamination. Keep away
from sources of heat, sparks or flame. Do not add to hot solvents or monomers as a
violent decomposition and/or reaction may result. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Keep in original container. DO NOT USE NEAR FOOD
OR DRINK. Wash thoroughly after handling.
STORAGE The activity and stability of many organic peroxide formulations is directly related to
the shipping and storage temperature history. Cool storage at 75掳F (24掳C) or below
is recommended for longer shelf life and stability. Prolonged storage at elevated
temperatures will cause product degradation, gassing and potential container rupture
which can result in a fire and/or explosion. Store out of direct sunlight in a well
ventilated area away from combustible and incompatible materials. DO NOT
STORE WITH FOOD OR DRINK. Refer to NFPA 432 Code for the Storage of
Organic Peroxide Formulations from the National Fire Protection Association for
additional storage information.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS Unmixed, uncontaminated material, remaining at the end of the day, shall be
returned to a proper organic peroxide storage area. Under no circumstances should
material be returned to the original container.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION Use adequate ventilation.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Not generally required unless necessary to prevent respiratory irritation. If necessary
use NIOSH/MSHA approved cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridges. In
case of spill or leak of unknown concentration, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
supplied air respirator.
EYE PROTECTION Safety goggles recommended, goggles with a face shield are preferred.
HAND PROTECTION Protective gloves recommended, solvent resistant.
OTHER A safety shower and eyewash is highly recommended when the risk of a significant
exposure exits.
