Chemical Name: Tert-Amyl Peroxy-2-Ethylhexanoate
Concentration: ≤ 100%
CAS Number: 682-01-9
Impurities: May contain trace stabilizers; no notable additives purposely introduced above 0.1%
Skin Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, continue rinsing, get medical advice
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical aid
Acute Symptoms: Irritation, redness, coughing, difficulty breathing, headache, nausea
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry sand, foam, CO₂; water spray only to cool containers
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water jet
Specific Hazards: Organic peroxides may decompose explosively upon heating, releasing toxic fumes including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other organics
Firefighter Protection: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Remove unaffected containers from the area if possible, keep cool by water spray
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate, wear suitable protective equipment including gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering waterways, drains, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Scoop up spilled material using clean, non-sparking tools, collect in a non-combustible container for disposal, do not create dust or allow product to dry in place
Notification Procedures: Report significant release to environmental authorities
Handling: Avoid heat, friction, impact, and static discharge, handle in well-ventilated areas, wear standard chemical protection gear
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container, away from sources of heat and ignition, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated facility
Separation: Isolate from acids, bases, reducing agents, combustibles, heavy metal salts, and other peroxides
Temperature Limits: Store below 30°C, do not freeze, maintain stability by limiting exposure to light and air
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits, minimize airborne concentration
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber), safety goggles, chemical apron, respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate
Environmental Controls: Use containment to avoid contamination of soil and water
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Slight, sweet or ester-like
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point: -30°C
Boiling Point: Not determined, decomposes
Flash Point: Above 60°C (closed cup)
Decomposition Temperature: 60°C and above
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents like toluene, ether
Density: 0.95 g/cm³ at 20°C
Vapor Pressure: Low at ambient temperature
Viscosity: Moderate, pourable
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions; sensitive to heat, light, and contamination
Reactivity: Violent reaction with strong acids, bases, heavy metals, reducing agents
Hazardous Decomposition: Carbon oxides, various organic fragments
Polymerization: May occur under heat or contamination, risk of explosion
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames, sparks, direct sunlight, contamination
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed, may cause drowsiness or dizziness
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Moderate irritation, redness, prolonged exposure increases harm
Eye Damage/Irritation: Severe irritation, risk of serious damage
Respiratory Effects: Coughing, difficulty breathing; increased risk with high vapor concentrations
Sensitization: Not known to cause allergic response
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may aggravate pre-existing conditions; no known carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms, moderate toxicity to fish and invertebrates
Persistence and Degradability: Slow breakdown in water, persistence in the environment possible
Bioaccumulation Potential: No significant evidence found; structurally, risk is considered low
Mobility in Soil: Material likely remains in topsoil layers
Other Adverse Effects: Release impacts local flora, fauna, and aquatic habitats by disrupting growth and reproduction; product should not reach surface or groundwater
Waste Disposal Methods: Incinerate at licensed hazardous waste facility, do not landfill, avoid discharge to water systems
Container Disposal: Rinse with suitable solvent, treat as hazardous material, ensure complete destruction prior to recycling or landfill
Regulatory Compliance: Follow national and local environmental regulations governing organic peroxide disposal
Precautions: Do not mix with other wastes, segregate peroxides from flammable or incompatible materials during disposal
