Hazard Predictions

Acetyl peroxide evolves toxic gases on contact with acids (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 51).

Acids catalyze exothermic peroxide decomposition reactions (Sanchez, J., T.N. Meyers. 2000. Peroxides and Peroxide Compounds, Organic Peroxides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons. (Online)); the reactions may be violent (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392).

Acids may decompose organic peroxides to form ethers, alcohols and aldehydes. Further decomposition may yield flammable hydrocarbons and inert CO2 gases (Hawkins, E. G. E. Organic Peroxides. New York: Van Nostrand, 1961, pp. 54).
