Notre engagement to Sécurité

At Do Sender Chem, 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.

Notre 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 Fiches de données de sécurité (SDS), technical training, and 24/7 emergency support to all our customers worldwide. Notre 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.

Peroxydes organiques Sécurité

Peroxydes organiques are thermally unstable substances that can undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. Proper handling and storage are critical to prevent uncontrolled reactions.

Principaux risques

Primary risk factors for organic peroxides

Self-Accelerating Decomposition (SADT): Peroxydes organiques can decompose exothermically if their temperature exceeds the Self-Accelerating Decomposition Température. This can lead to thermal runaway, fire, or explosion.
🔥
Fire & Explosion Risque: Decomposition produces flammable gases and heat. In confined spaces, pressure buildup can cause explosion. Some peroxides are shock-sensitive.
Skin & Eye Irritation: Many organic peroxides (e.g., MEKP, BPO) are strong skin and eye irritants. Direct contact can cause chemical burns or sensitization.
🌿
Environnement Hazard: Decomposition by-products may be toxic to aquatic life. Spills must be contained immediately to prevent environmental contamination.
📦

Stockage & Handling Rules

Mandatory precautions for organic peroxides

Température Control: Always store below the recommended maximum temperature (SADT minus 10–20°C). Use temperature-monitored storage for sensitive products like EHP and TBPP. Never exceed the SADT.
Ségrégation : Keep away from heat sources, open flames, acids, bases, reducing agents, and heavy metals. Store in dedicated peroxide storage areas with proper ventilation.
Quantity Limits: Observe maximum allowable quantities per storage location as defined by local regulations and fire codes. Maintain proper spacing between containers.
PPE Requirements: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield, and protective clothing. Use in well-ventilated areas or under local exhaust ventilation.

Critical Avertissement — MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Peroxyde de cétone): MEKP peroxydique must be stored below 25°C and never mixed with accelerators (cobalt naphthenate/dimethyl aniline) directly. Direct mixing can cause violent, instantaneous decomposition. Always add peroxide to resin — never the reverse.

Critical Avertissement — EHP (2-Ethylhexyl Peroxydicarbonate): Perodox EHP has a very low SADT and must be stored at or below −10°C. It must be kept refrigerated during storage and transport. Decomposition above SADT can be violent and explosive.

Initiateurs AZO Sécurité

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.

Principaux risques

Primary risk factors for azo initiators

🔥
Thermal Decomposition: AIBN decomposes at ~65°C (10h half-life). ABVN decomposes at ~51°C. Uncontrolled heating produces nitrogen gas and organic radicals, causing pressure buildup in sealed containers.
Dust Explosion Hazard: AIBN and ABVN are fine powders that can form explosive dust clouds in air. Tout handling operations must include dust control measures and explosion-proof equipment.
Toxic Decomposition Produits: AIBN and ABVN release tetramethylsuccinonitrile (TMSN) upon decomposition — a highly toxic compound (LC50 in rats ~270 mg/m³). Ensure adequate ventilation.
💊
Skin Sensitization: AIBN may cause skin sensitization with repeated exposure. Always wear appropriate PPE and avoid skin contact.
📦

Stockage & Handling Rules

Mandatory precautions for azo initiators

Cool Stockage: Store AIBN and AIBME below 25°C in a dry, dark location. Store ABVN below 10°C (refrigeration recommended). Never store in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Ségrégation : Keep away from acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and metal salts. Do not store near peroxides or other reactive chemicals. Avoid contact with copper and its alloys.
Confinement : Store in original containers with intact labels. Never transfer to sealed glass containers — decomposition generates gas pressure. Use vented caps where appropriate.
Dust Control: When weighing or transferring powder forms (AIBN, ABVN), use local exhaust ventilation, anti-static equipment, and avoid creating dust clouds. Ground all equipment.

Critical Avertissement — ABVN (Azobisisovaleronitrile): ABVN has a significantly lower decomposition temperature than AIBN (~51°C vs. ~65°C). It must be stored below 10°C at all times. Even brief exposure to elevated temperatures can trigger self-accelerating decomposition. Transport under refrigeration is mandatory.

Autres produits Sécurité

Beyond organic peroxides and azo initiators, our portfolio includes metal alkyls, polymer additives, and PVC reactor additives — each with unique safety considerations.

Alkyles métalliques

Triethylaluminum (TEA), Diethylaluminum Chloride, etc.

🔥
Pyrophoric Nature: Metal alkyls ignite spontaneously upon contact with air (oxygen) or moisture. Even trace exposure to humid air causes immediate ignition. Tout handling must be under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon).
💧
Violent Eau Reaction: Contact with water produces flammable gases (ethane, ethylene) and intense heat. Fires involving metal alkyls must never be extinguished with water — use dry sand, dry chemical powder, or Class D extinguishers only.
Severe Burns: Liquide metal alkyls cause deep thermal and chemical burns. Full PPE is mandatory: flame-resistant clothing, face shield, chemical goggles, and heat-resistant gloves.
📦
Transport & Stockage: Shipped in UN-certified pressure vessels under nitrogen blanket. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Maintain inert gas pad at all times. Never open containers to atmosphere.
🔬

Polymer & PVC Additives

Antistatic agents, release agents, suspending agents, etc.

📄
Lower Hazard Profile: Polymer additives generally present lower acute hazards compared to peroxides and metal alkyls. However, each product has specific handling requirements detailed in its SDS.
Skin & Eye Contact: Some additives may cause irritation or sensitization with prolonged exposure. Always use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, protective clothing) when handling.
🌿
Environnement Precautions: Prevent release to waterways. Some additives are harmful to aquatic organisms. Follow local regulations for disposal and waste management.
💊
Dust Hazards: Powder-form additives (e.g., some suspending agents) may present dust inhalation risks. Use local exhaust ventilation and wear dust masks during transfer operations.
