Organic peroxideformula

If your company requires shipping organic peroxides overseas, it is critical that you transport them in the proper containers. Organic peroxides can be extremely dangerous to transport, and you don’t want to take any chances with the shipping containers you use to get them where they need to be for a variety of reasons.

Reefer containers are essential to the safe transportation of organic peroxides that require temperature control. During road transport, the cooling units for these containers must be mechanical and be able to work independently of the truck engine. The truck driver should be able to read the temperature of the cooling compartment at all times, and the truck must have an alarm system that indicates if the container exceeds the alarm temperature. Spare parts and service providers for the refrigeration system must also be available.

Klinge has developed an extremely reliable container for Class 5.2 dangerous goods transportation. Our Dual Redundant Refrigerated Container & Integral Genset has two full capacity reefer units and automatically switches to the backup in an emergency. It complies with the Internal Maritime Organization’s regulations for the transportation of certain organic peroxides and therefore, also comes with a diesel generator set that will power the units during truck transport or external power supply loss as well as internal explosion-proof fittings.

An important factor in organic peroxide safety is self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT). The SADT of an organic peroxide is the lowest temperature at which it will experience self-accelerating decomposition in one week in a typical vessel or package. At the SADT, the heat evolution becomes unbalanced due to the decomposition reaction and the rate of heat removal from the package.

While organic peroxides can look innocuous, they can actually be quite hazardous. They can be toxic or corrosive and can cause a health hazard if handled, inhaled or swallowed. They can rust and destroy metals. Most importantly, as mentioned above, the high oxygen of the peroxy group means a level of flammability and combustibility.

To define organic peroxide, it is a carbon compound with two linked oxygen items (peroxy group). Because of the high level of oxygen, organic peroxides can create a substantial fire and explosion risk. Organic peroxides are chemicals that are found in a wide range of industries, especially the plastic and rubber industries. They can act as accelerators, curing agents, hardeners and catalysts and serve a variety of other useful purposes. While they are typically found in solid form as a powder, they can sometimes come as liquids or pastes, as well.

If the heat removal is too low, the temperature inside the package rises, and the decomposition rate increases uncontrollably. Self-accelerating decomposition occurs when the decomposition rate is fast enough that it generates heat faster than it can dissipate into the environment.

Reefer containers are also used during sea transport of temperature-controlled organic peroxides. These containers typically have a redundant cooling system. These containers also have an alarm system to warn of temperature deviations — usually also tied to a GSM or Satellite monitoring system.

For some of what are called class 5.2 organic peroxide, it takes very little to catalyze them. A slight amount of heat, shock or friction can cause them to combust and burn extremely quickly. For this reason, it is incredibly important to store them in a temperature-controlled and constantly monitored container during transport.

Some peroxides are highly unstable and must be refrigerated to prevent self-accelerating decomposition. Others are more stable and can be stored safely at normal ambient temperatures. To determine the maximum temperature at which it is safe to transport an organic peroxide, it must be tested to determine its SADT.
