Description
A strong oxidizing agent shipped in light-resistant glass bottles, carboys and aluminium drums. Used in the textile and pulp and paper industries. Concentrated solutions are highly toxic and strong irritants.
When mixed with organic substances, explosions are liable to occur. When rapidly heated it may decompose suddenly. Is affected by light and should be kept in light-resistant containers at a temperature not above 35°C. When there is insufficient ullage in the containers, excessive heat will blow off corks and tops. High fire and explosion risk.
Reference is made to the relevant IMO regulations on hazardous cargo.
