SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Excerpt from ERG Guide 148 [Organic Peroxides (Heat and Contamination Sensitive / Temperature Controlled)]: Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with substance may cause severe injury or burns. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool .. Do not attempt to neutralize because of exothermic reaction. Cover skin burns with dry, sterile dressings after decontamination . Organic peroxides
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Fight...with water from explosion-resistant location. in advanced or massive fires...area should be evacuated. if fire occurs in vicinity of this material water should be used to keep containers cool. clean-up & salvage operations should not be attempted until all...cooled completely. 25% soln
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 148 [Organic Peroxides (Heat and Contamination Sensitive / Temperature Controlled)]: May explode from heat, contamination or loss of temperature control. These materials are particularly sensitive to temperature rises. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently and catch fire. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). May ignite spontaneously if exposed to air. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
In event of spillage...spilled material should be absorbed...with noncombustible absorbent, such as vermiculite. sweep up & place in plastic container for immediate disposal. do not use spark-generating metals or cellulosic materials (paper, wood, etc) for sweeping up or handling spilled material. 25% soln
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Protect against physical damage. store only in detached, isolated noncombustible building erected for this purpose & used exclusively for this material. do not store solid or paste peroxides in same building... no electrical installation, open flames or other sources of ignition permitted in storage building. 25% soln
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
no data available
no data available
Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Chemical stability
Highly unstable org peroxides
Possibility of hazardous reactions
DANGEROUS, BY SPONTANEOUS CHEMICAL REACTION. A POWERFUL OXIDIZING AGENT; CAN CAUSE IGNITION OF ORGANIC MATERIALS ON CONTACT.Pure DIACETYL PEROXIDE, a solid, presents a severe explosion hazard. Unpredictably shock sensitive. Five grains detonated violently while being removed from an ice chest [Chem. Eng. News 26:3197(1948)]. May explode violently in contact with ether or any volatile solvent. A 5-gram portion in ether detonated while being carried [Chem. Eng. News 27:175(1949)]. The 25% solution in dimethyl phthalate is less dangerous, but still a strong oxidizing agent that presents a moderate fire risk [Hawley].
Conditions to avoid
