First aid for skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing or excess containment. Flush skin with water. Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water. Consult a physician if irritation develops. First aid for inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Place unconscious person on the side in the recovery position to ensure breathing. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. First aid for ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If patient is conscious, immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water or milk. Keep person under observation. If vomiting occurs, keep head low. Transport immediately to hospital and show attending physician this Material Safety Data Sheet.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES If large amounts of material are involved, evacuate the area and fight fire from safe distance. Cool fire-exposed containers with water. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Benzoyl peroxide can decompose violently if heated strongly while confined. P a g e 3 HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area. If contact cannot be avoided, wear protective clothing as described in Section VIII of this safety data sheet. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Do not let product enter drains. Avoid subsoil penetration. Spillage or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body. CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN UP: Dike, contain and absorb with clay, sand or other suitable material and then place into containers. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Use non-sparking equipment Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing Avoid breathing vapors Use only as directed; avoid uncontrolled mixing with other materials, especially polymerizable or combustible materials. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Store out of direct sunlight in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store below 100 F to maintain stability and active oxygen content. Keep from heat, sparks, and open flame. Exposure to high heat can cause a violent reaction. Do not store near combustibles. Refer also to National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Code 432, Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations. STORAGE CLASS: Chemical storage. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields. SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION SKIN PROTECTION: Chemical-resistant gloves and other gear as required to prevent skin contact.
P a g e 4 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required at normal handling temperatures and conditions. OTHER PROTECTION: Chemical resistant apron, protective suit, safety shoes / boots. PROCESS CONDITIONS: Provide eyewash station. ENGINEERING MEASURES: Ventilation: Local exhaust is recommended for confined areas. General mechanical ventilation is adequate for normal use. HYGIENE MEASURES: DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA! Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Use appropriate skin cream to prevent drying of skin. When using this material, do not eat, drink or smoke. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

P a g e 5 Acute dermal effects: LD50 (rabbit): No data BPO: non-irritating to rabbits (4-hr exposure). Repeated controlled human skin contact studies produced skin allergy. Acute inhalation effects: LC50 (rat): No data BPO: practically non-toxic to rats (LC50>22.4mg/L, 4hr). Pure benzoyl peroxide causes respiratory irritation. Eye irritation: BPO: Severely irritating to rabbits. Subchronic effects: Not available. Carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and mutagenicity: BPO: both positive and negative (mutagenic and non-mutagenic) responses occurred in tests with animal or bacterial cells. Repeated skin application with a known carcinogen enhanced skin tumor production in mice by the carcinogen. Other chronic effects: BPO: Rats fed does of 2800 mg/kg for 2 years showed increased incidence of testicular atrophy. Pure benzoyl peroxide is reported to be an allergen.
