SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
NO YES
FLAMMABILITY IF YES, UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS?
Non-Flammable.
Fire Hazards
Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat, of organic materials, of metals, of acids. Most
cellulose (wood, cotton) materials contain enough catalyst to cause spontaneous ignition with 90% Hydrogen Peroxide.
Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizer. It is not flammable itself, but it can cause spontaneous combustion of flammable
materials and continued support of the combustion because it liberates oxygen as it decomposes.
Hydrogen peroxide mixed with magnesium and a trace of magnesium dioxide will ignite immediately.
Explosion Hazards
Soluble fuels (acetone, ethanol, glycerol) will detonate on a mixture with peroxide over 30% concentration, the violence
increasing with concentration.
Explosive with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, acetone, alcohols, carboxylic acids, nitrogen containing bases, As2S3, Cl2
+ KOH, FeS, FeSO4 + 2 methylpryidine + H2SO4, nitric acid, potassium permanganate, P2O5, H2Se, Alcohols +

SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA - CONTINUED
Beware: Many mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and organic materials may not explode upon contact. However, the
resulting combination is detonate-able either upon catching fire or by impact.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: SEVERE, WHEN HIGHLY CONCENTRATED OR PURE H2O2 IS EXPOSED TO HEAT,
MECHANICAL IMPACT, OR CAUSED TO DECOMPOSE CATALYTICALLY BY METALS & THEIR SALTS, DUSTS &
ALKALIES. ANOTHER SOURCE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE EXPLOSIONS IS FROM SEALING THE MATERIAL IN
STRONG CONTAINERS. UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS EVEN GRADUAL DECOMPOSITION OF HYDROGEN
PEROXIDE TO WATER + 1/2 OXYGEN CAN CAUSE LARGE PRESSURES TO BUILD UP IN THE CONTAINERS
WHICH MAY BURST EXPLOSIVELY.
Fire or explosion:
May explode from friction, heat or contamination. These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire.
May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels).
Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. /Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous

MEANS OF EXTINCTION
Fire: Small fires: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2, or Halon may provide limited control.
Large fires: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Do
not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. ALWAYS stay
away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible,
withdraw from area and let fire burn.
