3. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Product Name & Other Names: Benzoyl Peroxide or Dibenzoyl peroxide. Hydrous Benzoyl Peroxide.
CAS No.: 94-36-0
EINECS EC Number: 202-327-6
4. First Aid Measures
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used. Wash clothing & shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Heating or contact with water releases oxygen which may intensify combustion in an existing fire. It is explosive when dry.
Explosion: An explosion hazard when mixed with finely powdered organic matter, metal powder, or reducing agents.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Carbon oxides and fumes.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Use means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Sealed containers may rupture when heated.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: It is an oxidizing material. Stop leak if without risk. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing etc.). Keep the substance damp using water spray. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers. Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid penetration into waterways, sewers, soil or groundwater. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like reducing agents, organic material, water, and powdered metals especially aluminum, acids, bases, halides, oxidizing agents, combustible materials. Avoid breathing dust. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Organic peroxides and self-reacting hazardous materials. Recommended storage temperature 2C - 8C.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures low.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
