Safety & Handling
Comprehensive safety guidance for the responsible handling, storage, transportation, and emergency management of organic peroxides, azo initiators, metal alkyls, and other reactive chemical products.
Emergency Procedures ➡Our Commitment to Safety
At Shandong Do Sender Chemicals, safety is not just a policy — it is the foundation of everything we do. From production to delivery, we ensure that every product meets the highest international safety standards.
Our products — including organic peroxides, azo initiators, metal alkyls, and polymer additives — are classified as hazardous materials under international regulations. They require specialized knowledge for safe handling throughout the supply chain.
We provide comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS), technical training, and 24/7 emergency support to all our customers worldwide. Our HSE management system is fully integrated and ISO-certified, covering hazard identification, risk assessment, and continuous improvement programs.
This page consolidates essential safety information across our product categories. Always consult the product-specific SDS before handling any chemical. When in doubt, contact our technical team.
Hazard Identification
Clear classification of chemical hazards using GHS pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements for every product.
Safe Storage
Temperature-controlled storage, segregation protocols, and shelf-life management to prevent decomposition.
Compliant Transport
UN-certified packaging, IMDG/IATA/ADR compliance, and temperature-monitored logistics for global shipments.
Emergency Response
24/7 emergency hotline, first-aid procedures, spill containment, and fire-fighting guidance for all product categories.
Organic Peroxides Safety
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances that can undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. Proper handling and storage are critical to prevent uncontrolled reactions.
Key Hazards
Primary risk factors for organic peroxides
Storage & Handling Rules
Mandatory precautions for organic peroxides
AZO Initiators Safety
AZO initiators (AIBN, ABVN, AIBME) are thermally sensitive free-radical sources. While generally more stable than organic peroxides, they still require careful handling to prevent unintended decomposition.
Key Hazards
Primary risk factors for azo initiators
Storage & Handling Rules
Mandatory precautions for azo initiators
Other Products Safety
Beyond organic peroxides and azo initiators, our portfolio includes metal alkyls, polymer additives, and PVC reactor additives — each with unique safety considerations.
Polymer & PVC Additives
Antistatic agents, release agents, suspending agents, etc.
Handling & Storage Guidelines
General best practices that apply across all our reactive chemical product categories. Product-specific requirements always take precedence.
Storage Best Practices
- Maintain storage temperatures per SDS specifications
- Monitor temperature continuously with alarm systems
- Store in original, clearly labeled containers
- Observe maximum stack heights and quantity limits
- Separate incompatible chemicals (acids, bases, reducers)
- Ensure adequate ventilation in all storage areas
- Rotate stock using FIFO (First In, First Out) principle
- Keep fire-fighting equipment accessible and inspected
Safe Handling Procedures
- Always read the SDS before handling any product
- Wear appropriate PPE: gloves, goggles, face shield, apron
- Use in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods
- Never eat, drink, or smoke in chemical handling areas
- Ground and bond containers when transferring flammables
- Use non-sparking tools in hazardous atmospheres
- Keep containers tightly closed when not in use
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling
Transport Compliance
- Use UN-certified packaging for all hazardous materials
- Comply with IMDG Code for sea freight shipments
- Follow IATA-DGR for air transport (where permitted)
- Comply with ADR/RID for European road/rail transport
- Ensure proper labeling: GHS labels, UN numbers, proper shipping names
- Maintain temperature control during transit for sensitive products
- Include safety documentation with every shipment
- Train personnel in hazardous materials handling regulations
GHS Classification Overview
Key hazard classifications for our major product categories under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
⚠ Hazard Class by Product Category
| Product | UN Class | GHS Category | Signal Word |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Peroxides | Class 5.2 | Type B–F | Danger |
| AZO Initiators | Class 4.1 | Self-reactive | Danger |
| Class 4.2 | Pyrophoric | Danger | |
| Polymer Additives | Varies | Low hazard | Warning |
| PVC Additives | Varies | Low–moderate | Warning |
🌡 Critical SADT / Decomposition Values
| Product | SADT / 10h t½ | Max Storage Temp |
|---|---|---|
| Perodox B (DTBP) | SADT 100°C | ≤ 35°C |
| Perodox MEKP | SADT 55°C | ≤ 25°C |
| Perodox EHP | SADT −5°C | ≤ −10°C |
| Perodox DCP | SADT 90°C | ≤ 35°C |
| AIBN | 10h t½ ~65°C | < 25°C |
| ABVN | 10h t½ ~51°C | < 10°C |
| AIBME | 10h t½ ~66°C | < 25°C |
Emergency Response Procedures
If an incident occurs involving any of our products, follow these procedures immediately. Always prioritize personal safety and evacuate the area if necessary.
Fire
If a fire involves organic peroxides or azo initiators:
- Evacuate the area immediately — do not attempt to fight large peroxide fires
- For small fires, use water spray, foam, or dry chemical
- Never use water on metal alkyl fires — use dry sand or Class D extinguishers
- Cool surrounding containers with water spray to prevent thermal runaway
- Call emergency services and provide SDS information
Spill / Leak
If a spill or leak occurs:
- Isolate the area and restrict access
- Wear full PPE before approaching the spill
- For metal alkyls: never use water — cover with dry sand or inert absorbent
- For peroxides/azo: absorb with inert material, avoid contamination
- Collect residue in appropriate containers for disposal
- Ventilate the area thoroughly after cleanup
First Aid
Immediate first aid measures:
- Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water for 15+ minutes
- Eye contact: Rinse with water for 15+ minutes, seek immediate medical attention
- Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep warm and at rest, seek medical help
- Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting, rinse mouth, seek immediate medical help
- Always provide the SDS to medical personnel
