· Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
• FOR SMALL FIRE:
· Water spray, foam, CO2 or dry chemical.
· DO NOT use water jets.
FOR LARGE FIRE:
· Flood fire area with water from a distance.
FIRE FIGHTING
· Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
· May be violently or explosively reactive.
· Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
· Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 1000 metres in all directions.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
· Will not burn but increases intensity of fire.
· May explode from friction, shock, heat or containment.
· Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.
· Heat affected containers remain hazardous.
Combustion products include: carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
· Benzoyl peroxide decomposes when heated with formation of dense white toxic smoke of benzoic acid, phenyl benzoate, terphenyls, biphenyls, and
· Organic peroxides provide internal oxygen for combustion, so burn intensely.
· Simple smothering actions are not effective against established fires.
May emit poisonous fumes.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
· Avoid storage with reducing agents.
· Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
· Mix only as much as is required.
· DO NOT return the mixed material to original containers.
· Avoid personal contact and inhalation of dust, mist or vapours.
· Provide adequate ventilation.
· Always wear protective equipment and wash off any spillage from clothing.
· Keep material away from light, heat, flammables or combustibles.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
· Metal packagings meeting the test criteria of Packing Group I, must NOT be used; this avoids unnecessary confinement.
· Packagings for organic peroxides must be constructed so that none of the materials, which are in contact with the contents, will catalyse or
otherwise dangerously affect the properties of their contents.
· For combination packages, cushioning materials must not be readily combustible and must NOT cause decomposition of the organic peroxide if leakage
occurs.
· Some plastics may be incompatible with this material, check with manufacturer for storage suitability.
· DO NOT repack. Use containers supplied by manufacturer only.
· Check that containers are clearly labelled.
Type E and F Solid Organic Peroxides, UN 3108, and UN 3110, UN 3118 and UN 3120 are to be packed to the requirements of Packing method OP8 of the UN
Dangerous Goods Code, with maximum mass of 200 kg. in a steel, aluminium, plastic drum/ container or plastic inner receptacle in fibreboard or metal
outer drum.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
• For benzoyl peroxide:
· Avoid reaction with acids, alkalis, oxidising and reducing agents, metals and metal oxides, and combustible materials.
· Amines and solutions of cobalt salts used as promoters and accelerators in polyester compounds if mixed with benzoyl peroxide will cause
spontaneous decomposition (detonation).
· Alkalis cause rapid decomposition of benzoyl peroxide with generation of large volumes of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and may pressurise containers.
· Avoid contact with copper, brass, lead and zinc.
· Organic peroxides as a class are highly reactive.
· They are thermally unstable and prone to undergoing exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.
· Organic peroxides may decompose explosively, burn rapidly, be impact and/or friction sensitive and react dangerously with many other substances.
· Amines and polyester accelerators (cobalt salts, for example) if mixed with organic peroxides / organic peroxide mixtures will cause rapid /
spontaneous decomposition with fire / explosion hazard.
· Avoid any contamination.
· Avoid finely divided combustible materials
· Avoid all external heat.
· Incidents involving interaction of active oxidants and reducing agents, either by design or accident, are usually very energetic and examples of so-
called redox reactions.
· Peroxides decompose over time and give off oxygen.
· Peroxides require controlled storage for stability.
· DANGER: Explosion hazard, never mix peroxides with accelerators or promoters.
· Organic compounds, especially finely divided materials, can ignite on contact with concentrated peroxides.
· Strongly reduced material such as sulfides, nitrides, and hydrides may react explosively with peroxides.
· Separate from mineral acids, strong alkalis, paint driers, polyester or FRP resin accelerators, promoters, amines,aluminium, zinc, cast iron,
copper and brass, lead, manganese, vanadium, cobalt, mercury
· There are few chemical classes that do not at least produce heat when mixed with peroxides.
· Avoid storage with reducing agents.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
· Store in original containers in an isolated approved flammable materials storage area.
· Keep containers securely sealed as supplied.
· WARNING: Gradual decomposition during storage in sealed containers may lead to a large pressure build-up and subsequent explosion.
· No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.
FOR MINOR QUANTITIES:
Ensure that:
· packages are not opened in storage area,
· the goods are kept at least 3 metres from sources of heat as well as all other dangerous goods and all other materials which might react with this
material might react to cause a fire, a chemical reaction or explosion,
· materials for absorbing and neutralising spills are kept near the storage;
· procedures are displayed at the storage describing actions to be taken in the event of a spill or fire.
