Appendix G - Peroxidizable
Chemicals
Peroxide forming chemicals
have the potential of becoming violently explosive and may require special
handling at the time of disposal. Thus, it is very important to consult
TSO before placing any peroxide forming chemicals into a SAA. All
peroxidizable chemicals including those listed below, must be dated upon
receipt at ISU. Storage and use must be limited in the appropriate
time (expiration date), and may required other special conditions, such
as temperature control in an explosion-proof refrigerator.
Proper storage practices
for peroxide forming chemicals include:
-
label containers with receipt
and expiration dates
-
storage in airtight containers
in a cool, dark, and dry place
-
disposal BEFORE expiration date.
The following is a partial list
of peroxide forming chemicals. The best way to know if a chemical
is peroxide forming is to consult the MSDS. Those most commonly used
at ISU are in boldface type.
