Peroxide-forming chemicals can develop explosive peroxide crystals when exposed to air and light over time. This increases the risk of incidents if not managed properly. The Chemical Hygiene and Safety Plan (CHSP) provides essential guidance on identifying common peroxide-forming substances, safe storage durations, and necessary testing intervals. It is crucial to store, label, and test these chemicals in accordance with the CHSP. Always consult MSDSs and bottle labels for additional safety information. For further details, refer to the CHSP through the LBNL A-to-Z Index or contact Larry McLouth at x5286.

Peroxide-Forming Chemicals • Some organic liquids potentially form explosive peroxide crystals when exposed to air or light. Longer storage time increases the chance of crystal formation. • The Chemical Hygiene and Safety Plan (CHSP) lists common peroxide-forming chemicals, safe storage times, and testing frequencies. • Store, label, and test peroxide formers according to the CHSP. • Check MSDSs and bottle labels for chemicals not listed in the CHSP.
