SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Refer
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN EVENT
to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Spilled material should be swept
OF SPILL OR RELEASE
up 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
Rotate stock using the oldest material first. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
HANDLING
clothing. 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. Keep
in original container. DO NOT USE NEAR FOOD OR DRINK. Wash thoroughly
after handling.

The stability of NOROX 500 is directly related to the shipping and storage
STORAGE
temperature history. Cool storage at 80掳F (27掳C)or below is recommended for
longer shelf life and stability. Prolonged storage at elevated temperatures of 100掳F
(38掳C) and higher 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.
Unmixed, uncontaminated material, remaining at the end of the day, shall be
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
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
Use adequate ventilation.
VENTILATION
Not generally required unless necessary to prevent respiratory irritation. If necessary
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
use NIOSH approved cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridges. In case of
spill or leak of unknown concentration, use NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.
Safety goggles recommended, goggles with a face shield are preferred.
EYE PROTECTION
Protective gloves recommended, solvent resistant.
HAND PROTECTION
A safety shower and eyewash is highly recommended when the risk of a significant
OTHER
exposure exits.
