ZINC PEROXIDE Safety Profile
Systemic toxicity is similar to zinc oxide. Flammable when exposed to heat or by chemical reaction with reducing materials. Finely divided powder is slightly soluble in water, decomposes rapidly at 150 ℃. A powerful oxidizer and dangerous when mixed with highly combustible materials. A very dangerous explosion hazard when exposed to heat. Very dangerous, will react with water or steam to produce heat. Vigorous reaction with reducing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of ZnO. See also PEROXIDES, INORGANIC; PEROXIDES, ORGANIC and ZINC COMPOUNDS.
Hazard codes: O Oxidizing N Dangerous for the environment
Risk statements: 8 Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
9 Explosive when mixed with combustible material.
50/53 Very Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Safety statements: 17 Keep away from combustible material.
24/25 Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

ZINC PEROXIDE Standards and Recommendations
DOT Classification: 5.1; Label: Oxidizer
ZINC PEROXIDE Specification
Zinc peroxide (1314-22-3) dissolves in dilute acid, liberating hydrogen peroxide. It is noncombustible but accelerates the burning of combustible material. If the combustible material is divided finely, the mixture may be explosive. Sometimes it can be ignited by friction or contact with moisture in case it mixtures with combustible material. The hydrated material (of indefinite composition) explodes at 212 ℃. It could burn brilliantly if it mixtures with aluminum or zinc powder. It might produce irritating and/or toxic gases in case of fire.
Keep Zinc peroxide (1314-22-3) in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep it away from incompatible materials, combustible materials and heat.
