Administrative data

First-aid measures

General advice:
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. 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 problems : Consult a physician.
Skin contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
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

5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder
5.2. 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)
5.3. Advice for firefighters:
Specific methods:
Fight fire from a distance (more than 15 m). Cool containers/tanks with water spray. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers.
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. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. Use personal protective equipment. In case of insufficient ventilation,
wear suitable respiratory equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions:
Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.
6.3. 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. Keep contents moist. No sparking tools should
be used.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling:
Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Organic peroxides. Liquid. 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 fire-blanket nearby. Provide electrical earthing of equipment.
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. 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. 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. Protect the containers from any impacts. Take measures to prevent the
build up of electrostatic charge. Provide earthing and safe electrical equipment. Provide impermeable floor.
Do not store above: 30 °C, (to maintain the technical properties of the product).
Incompatible products:
Strong oxidizing agents Powerful reducers 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)
