Hazard Predictions

• Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
• Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
• Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)

Organic peroxides may be caused to decompose to gaseous products such as flammable hydrocarbons and O2 and inert CO2 gases by a variety of compounds including organic phosphates and inorganic sulfides. Reactions with sulfides may additionally liberate toxic SOx gases (Predicted).

Benzoyl peroxide undergoes a thermal decomposition to CO2, BzOH, C6H6 (and other hydrocarbons) and diphenyl ether (Uetake, et al. Chem. Abs. 1974. 81 5175).

O2 gas may also be released from the decomposition of organic peroxides (Davies, A. G. Organic Peroxides. London: Butterworths, 1961. pp. 171).

Additionally, some may liberate aldehydes upon decomposition as well, such as dimethyl peroxide which gives formaldehyde upon decomposition (Rodd, E. H, Ed. Chemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: Elsevier Publishing Company, 1951. Vol. Ia pp. 327).

Potential Gas Byproducts

• Aldehydes
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Hydrocarbons
• Oxygen (O2)
• Sulfur Oxides (SOx)
