Additional transport information

Additional information

Special provisions / remarks / other:

The substance is an organic peroxide Type C which is mechanically insensitive and does not propagate a detonation, but it deflagrates rapidly. The sensitiveness of the substance on heating under defined confinement is assessed as “medium”. A heat accumulation storage test showed that the peroxide is stable at 55 °C over a period of 7 days. Therefore, the SADT is > 55 °C for a 50 kg package and neither a control temperature nor an emergency temperature has to be defined for shipping of the material. The test item is not an explosive substance according to the German Explosives Act and is not too dangerous for transport according to UN test series 3.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1.Technical protection measures

The substance should be handled in closed apparatus or systems, if possible. Provide adequate ventilation. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation should be used if possible. If technical exhaust or ventilation measures are not possible or insufficient, respiratory protection must be worn.

2. Organisational protection measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with the substance. Immediately remove any contaminated clothing, shoes or stockings. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Provide eye and emergency safety showers. Wash hands before breaks and after work. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

3. Hand protection

Wear suitable gloves. Replace when worn.

Suitable material: Nitrile rubber

Use protective skin cream before handling the product.

The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. See information supplied by the manufacturer.

4. Body protection

Wear suitable protective clothing. Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work.

5. Eye protection

Wear eye/face protection.

6. Respiratory protection

In case of heavy dust formation or insufficient ventilation respiratory protection is required.

Use suitable breathing apparatus with at least P2 filter device.

Stability and reactivity

1. Chemical stability

The substance is chemically stable under recommended conditions of storage, use and temperature.

2. Possibility of hazardous reactions

Explosion / explosive decomposition of the product during heating / contact with fire possible. Heating causes rise in pressure with risk of bursting.

3. Conditions to avoid

Intense heating. Avoid dust formation. Do not dry up the product.

4. Incompatible materials

Oxidising agent, strong

5. Hazardous decomposition products

In case of fire may be liberated: Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide

Disposal considerations

Advice on disposal

Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains.

Dispose according to legislation.

The allocation of waste identity numbers/waste descriptions must be carried out according to the EEC, specific to the industry and process.

Contaminated packaging

Handle contaminated packages in the same way as the substance itself.
