An Evaluation of Organic Peroxide Hazard Classification Systems and Test Methods

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0742770 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Existing and proposed methods of assessing the hazards involved in transportation of various organic peroxides have been reviewed. Experiments have been carried out to measure the sensitivity of commercial organic peroxides in laboratory tests using impact, explosive shock, and thermal surge stimuli. Recommendations for a hazard classification system are included.
