STORAGE OF
ORGANIC PEROXIDES

Due to the risk of explosion, organic peroxides are divided into are divided into
types A/B/C/D/E/F/G

Facilities such as chemical containers in which
peroxides are stored are classifi ed as explosion hazard
categories:
Danger group I (includes A/B/C types) qualifi ed to the MW 1
explosion hazard category

Danger group II (includes D types) qualifi ed to the category
of MW 2 explosion hazard
Danger group III (includes types E/F/G) are not qualifi ed for
the explosion category

The rules for determining the explosion hazard zones of mixtures
of fl ammable materials with air in the facilities to the appropriate
explosion hazard category are specifi ed in the fi re regulations.

The maximum mass of peroxides
stored in one compartment must
An insulated container for the storage of peroxides is a free-standing, single-storey
not exceed:
warehouse with one or more separate chambers.
1000 kg of peroxides
The rooms should be arranged in series, all entrances are located on the same side.
Danger group I
Storage containers for the storage of organic peroxides have a relief surface in the form of a
2500 kg of peroxides
fl at roof, which as a relief surface does not exceed 75 kg / m2.
Danger group II
In storage containers, which have separate storage chambers, and the relieving surface is the
5000 kg of peroxides
roof, the side and partition walls protrude above the roof to a minimum height of 30 cm.
