Notes
"TLV" means the Threshold Limit Value exposure (eight-hour, time-weighted average, unless otherwise noted) established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. "STEL" indicates a short-term exposure limit. "PEL" indicates the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit."n/e" indicates that no exposure limit has been established.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove patient to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing and excess contaminant. Flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water. Consult a physician if irritation develops.
Flush eye with clean water for at least 20 minutes while gently holding eyelids open, lifting upper and lower lids. Get immediate medical attention.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth out with water, then sip 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips (if sitting) or to the side (if lying down) to prevent aspiration. Get medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical attention for eyes. Get medical attention if symptoms persist for inhalation. Get medical attention for ingestion.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, Foam
Water
Benzoyl peroxide can decompose violently if heated strongly while confined. Decomposition products can be flammable. Self accelerating decomposition temperature is 129 F (estimated).
If large amounts of material are involved, evacuate area and fight fire from safe distance. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Firefighter Protection
Do not enter confined space without full bunker gear. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area.
For large spills, pump to storage/ salvage vessels.
Prevent spill from entering drainage/ sewer systems, waterways, and surface waters.
Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand, or other suitable material and dispose of properly. Flush area with water to remove trace residue.
Materials: clay, sand, or other suitable material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using and particularly before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing and protective gear before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles. Provide appropriate ventilation/ respiratory protection against decomposition products (see Section 10) during welding/ flame cutting operations and against particulates during sanding/ grinding. Use nonsparking equipment.
Store in a cool, dry area away from high temperatures and flames. Keep from heat, sparks, and open flame. Exposure to high heat may cause a reaction.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using and particularly before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing and protective gear before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles.
Keep from heat, sparks, and open flame. Use nonsparking equipment.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Local exhaust ventilation is preferred although good general mechanical ventilation is usually adequate for most industrial applications. Local exhaust is recommended for confined areas.
Chemical-resistant gloves
Chemical goggles if liquid contact is likely, or Safety glasses with side shields.
None required at normal handling temperatures and conditions. Use NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridges for uncured resin and dust/ particle respirators during grinding/sanding operations of cured resin as exposure levels dictate.
other gear as required to prevent skin contact.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
This material is chemically stable.
Heat is generated when activator is mixed with adhesive.
Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Run-a-way cure reactions may char and decompose the activator, generating unidentified fumes and vapors which may be toxic.
Heat, spark, open flame, contamination, and friction
Strong Lewis or mineral acids, strong oxidizing agents, strong mineral and organic bases (especially primary and secondary aliphatic amines). Polymerization accelerators.
Oxides of carbon; aldehydes, acids, flammable and toxic fumes, and other organic substances may be formed during combustion.
