As we all know, Organic peroxides is a substance or mixture that can undergo self accelerated decomposition of heat sensitivity and is thermally unstable. If it is exposed to acids, alkalis, reducing agents, or flammable materials, or exposed to high temperatures, impacts, friction, etc., it will quickly decompose, leading to the occurrence of fires and explosions. So we must be very careful when storing and using Organic peroxides, and then we will tell you how to store Organic peroxides.
First of all, we should store Organic peroxides in a cool, clean, dry and ventilated warehouse. We must remember to keep away from all fire sources and heat sources, avoid direct sunlight and use explosion-proof lighting equipment. In addition, the warehouse where we store Organic peroxides must be waterproof, and prevent it from being mixed with acid, flammable substances, organic substances, reducing agents, spontaneous combustion substances and wet substances.
Secondly, we should store and transport different types of oxidants in appropriate warehouses according to the quality of Organic peroxides and fire extinguishing methods. For example, Organic peroxides cannot be stored and transported together with inorganic oxidants, and nitrite, Chlorite and Hypochlorite cannot be stored and transported together with other oxidants.
Finally, during the storage and transportation of Organic peroxides, we must take care to prevent the peroxides from falling off, because impact and friction may cause the explosion of Organic peroxides. If a fire and explosion happen accidentally, we must use water or foam to extinguish the fire and try our best to control the fire so as not to let other peroxides explode. If Organic peroxides are accidentally spilled during transportation, we should use inert substances as absorbent to absorb them, and then wash the residue with plenty of water.
