Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapours/mists : Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. In case of persistent problems : Consult a physician.
Skin contact:
Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with soap and water.
Eye contact:
Wash well-open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. Consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion:
In case of problems : Consult a doctor.
Protection of first-aiders:
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Foam, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

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.
Environmental precautions:
Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.
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.
Small quantities : Soak up with inert absorbent material (Vermiculite, Clean sand).
Do not confine. No sparking tools should be used.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Organic peroxides. Liquid. Irritant.Dangerous for the environment.
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 (risk of overpressurization in containers).
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. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. 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 container tightly closed in a dry 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. Provide earthing and safe electrical equipment.
Storage period: < 6 Months, Storage temperature: < -25 °C
Incompatible products:
Strong oxidizing agents, Reducing agents, 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), Glass - Stoneware (risk of contents spurting or spraying out if container ruptures due to overpressurization)
