Perossidi organici Sicurezza

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

Principali rischi

Primary risk factors for organic peroxides

Self-Accelerating Decomposition (SADT): Perossidi organici can decompose exothermically if their temperature exceeds the Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperatura. This can lead to thermal runaway, fire, or explosion.
🔥
Fire & Explosion Rischio: 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.
🌿
Ambientale Hazard: Decomposition by-products may be toxic to aquatic life. Spills must be contained immediately to prevent environmental contamination.
📦

Archiviazione & Handling Rules

Mandatory precautions for organic peroxides

Temperatura 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.
Segregazione: 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 Avviso — MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Perossido di chetone): Perodox MEKP 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 Avviso — 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.

Iniziatori AZO Sicurezza

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.

Principali rischi

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. Tutto handling operations must include dust control measures and explosion-proof equipment.
Toxic Decomposition Prodotti: 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.
📦

Archiviazione & Handling Rules

Mandatory precautions for azo initiators

Cool Archiviazione: 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.
Segregazione: 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.
Contenimento: 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 Avviso — 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.

Altri prodotti Sicurezza

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

Alchili metallici

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. Tutto handling must be under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon).
💧
Violent Acqua Reaction: Contatti 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: Liquido metal alkyls cause deep thermal and chemical burns. Full PPE is mandatory: flame-resistant clothing, face shield, chemical goggles, and heat-resistant gloves.
📦
Transport & Archiviazione: 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 Contatti: Some additives may cause irritation or sensitization with prolonged exposure. Always use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, protective clothing) when handling.
🌿
Ambientale 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.
