Organic Peroxides (Heat and Contamination Sensitive)

Small Fire

• Water spray or fog is preferred; if water not available use dry chemical, CO2 or regular foam.

Large Fire

• Flood fire area with water from a distance.
• Use water spray or fog; avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product.
• Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat.
• If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.

Fire Involving Tanks, Rail Tank Cars or Highway Tanks

• Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles.
• Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
• ALWAYS stay away from tanks in direct contact with flames.
• For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

• ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.
• Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.
• Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
• Keep substance wet using water spray.
• Stop leak if you can do it without risk.

Small Spill

• Pick up with inert, damp, non-combustible material using clean, non-sparking tools and place into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal.

Large Spill

• Wet down with water and dike for later disposal.
• Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
• DO NOT CLEAN-UP OR DISPOSE OF, EXCEPT UNDER SUPERVISION OF A SPECIALIST.
