Oxidising Substance and Organic Peroxides
Oxidising Substance and Organic Peroxides : (Class 5.1 Dangerous Goods) Oxidising substances. Substances that are not necessarily combustible, but may cause or contribute to the combustion of other material, usually by yielding oxygen, chlorine or fluorine. Dangerous goods of Division 5.1 are assigned to a packing group according to the degree of danger they present: Packing Group I (high danger); Packing Group II (medium danger); Packing Group III (low danger). Class 5.2 Organic peroxides. Organic substances that contain the bivalent -O-O- structure and may be considered to be derivatives of hydrogen peroxide, in which one or both of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals. Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances that may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition and may also have one or more of the following properties: (a) be liable to explosive decomposition; (b) burn rapidly; (c) be sensitive to impact or friction; (d) react dangerously with other substances; (e) cause damage to the eyes
