Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

General advice:

Risk of ignition. In case of splashes, remove contaminated clothing and plunge it into water immediately.

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. In case of persistent problems : Hospitalise.

Skin contact:

Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with soap and water. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/ attention.

Eye contact:

Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion:

Consult a physician.

Protection of first-aiders:

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

The product burns violently (protect people from possible projections).

Contact with combustible material may cause fire.

Through thermal decomposition, formation of very reactive free radicals.

Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products :

Alcohols, Carbon oxides (by combustion)

Advice for firefighters:

Specific methods:

Fight fire from a distance (more than 15 m). Cool containers/tanks with water spray. In case of fire, remove exposed containers. Prohibit all

sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke.

Special protective actions for fire-fighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection apparatus. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not

smoke. Prohibit contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. Use personal protective equipment. In case of insufficient ventilation,

wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Environmental precautions:

Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Methods for cleaning up:

After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Recover waste water for processing later.

Recovery:

Never return spills in original containers for re-use. Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Small quantities : Soak up with inert absorbent

material (Vermiculite, Clean sand). Do not confine. No sparking tools should be used.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Technical measures/Precautions:

Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Organic peroxides. Liquid. Flammable (when hot). Sensitizing.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide self-contained breathing apparatus nearby (for

emergency intervention). Provide water supplies near the point of use. Provide electrical earthing of equipment. Provide fire-blanket nearby.

Safe handling advice:

Strictly limit the quantities of product in the work area to those which are absolutely necessary for the work in hand. Great cleanliness in work

areas is a necessary and important factor for safety. Handle and open container with care (risk of overpressurization in containers). Prohibit

all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Protect from contamination. Never return any product to the container from which it was

originally removed (risk of decomposition). Never mix peroxides directly with accelerators (risk of explosion). Add each component separately

to the resin. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Hygiene measures:

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Prohibit contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. When using do not eat, drink or

smoke.

Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in well insulated area (peroxide area) away from other substances. Storage buildings must be built and equipped so as not to exceed

the maximum proscribed temperature limit. Use non-combustible construction materials. Keep/Store away from clothing/ combustible

materials. Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not smoke. Store in

original container. Use only very clean containers and equipment free from traces of impurities. Never return unused material to storage

receptacle. Do not reuse empty packaging to store other products. Provide earthing and safe electrical equipment. Provide a catch-tank in a

bunded area. Provide impermeable floor.

Storage period: < 6 Months, Storage temperature: < 30 °C (to maintain the technical properties of the product).

Incompatible products:

Strong oxidizing agents, Powerful reducers, Strong acids, Bases, Amines, Sulphur compounds, heavy metal compounds, heavy metals, rust,

Ash, dusts (risk of self-accelerating exothermic decomposition)

Packaging material:

Recommended: High density polyethylene (HDPE), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Stainless steel

To be avoided: Ordinary metals (ordinary steel), copper, rubber (natural or synthetic), Glass - Stoneware (risk of contents spurting or

spraying out if container ruptures due to overpressurization)

Disposal considerations

Disposal of product: Do not dispose of waste into sewer. Eliminate the product by incineration after dilution in a suitable

flammable solvent (in accordance with local and national regulations). Amount of active oxygen must

be below 1%.  Can be disposed of as waste water, when in compliance with local

regulations.

Disposal of packaging: Do not release into the environment. Destroy packaging by incineration at an approved waste disposal

site (in accordance with local and national regulations).
