| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Germicide; in bleaching of flour and food oils. | [General Description]
A solution containing less than 40% by mass of the white crystalline solid in a nonvolatile solvent. Dilution moderates reactivity of the pure solvent. Irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Decomposed by water [Hawley]. | [Reactivity Profile]
Acetyl benzoyl peroxide SOLUTION [<= 40% PEROXIDE] is a powerful oxidizing agent. Reacts with reducing agents (including many common organic materials). These reactions may lead to ignition. Decomposes when heated. | [Potential Exposure]
Used in disinfectants, to bleach flour; and in medications. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once, and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. | [Shipping]

3105 | [HazardClass ]
5.2 | [PackingGroup ]
II | [Safety Profile]
Poison by inhalation and ingestion. Severe irritant. A powerful oxidzing agent that is corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. See also PEROXIDES, ORGANIC. Dangerous; shock or heat will cause detonation with evolution of toxic fumes; will react with water or steam to produce heat; can react vigorously with reducing materials. Flammable by spontaneous chemical reaction. To fight fire, use Con or dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes. | [Hazardous Substances Data]
