In general, organic peroxides are unstable to heat, and some types of organic peroxides are very sensitive to friction and shock, and decompose explosively. On the other hand, other types can be handled in a similar way to solvents.
Accordingly, handling of organic peroxides requires adequate knowledge of the characteristics of each organic peroxide. Therefore, it is important to handle organic peroxides by appropriate procedures for safe and efficient use. Adequate assessment techniques for the characteristics of organic peroxides are required, and various testing methods have been developed for this purpose. Based on assessment tests, organic peroxides can be classified into various grades of hazard. The NOF group also has basic data on handling organic peroxides, obtained from various tests conducted at NOF. |
