Personnel shouldn't be smoke or light matches around the MEKP. All sources of heat and open flames must be kept away. Safety glasses and protective gloves must be worn during operation.

Prevent spilling or splashing peroxides. Spills should be cleaned up immediately. The peroxides must not be sprayed from injection spray guns on to hot surfaces or combustible materials.

When operator is outlaying, dispensing and weighing the chemical, the surface should be clean, smooth and uncluttered area near the point of use.

Peroxide never be added to dirty catalyst supply tanks. Before adding peroxide into the tank, please inspect the tank carefully. Tank must be clean and no foreign materials in it.

Any material contaminated with peroxide from other combustible material must be immediately isolated. All contaminated material must be removed to a fire safe area. MEKP never mixed up with accelerators such as Cobalt Naphthenate used to cure Polyester. MEKP shouldn't mixed up to resin solutions at temperatures higher than 45 0C (113 0F). Do not add MEKP with solvents such as acetone. The resulting mixture could be maybe unstable.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

All contacts with MEKP are going to result as inertion. All cases polyethylene is used together with MEKP. Also is acceptable with Type316 stainless steel and Teflon.

The following materials shouldn't be used with MEKP, such as; brass, bronze. copper, aluminum, iron, Type400 stainless steel, rubber and all materials which contains prone to oxidation.

Pumping systems for MEKP should be constructed of approved materials at all points of contact.

Heat should be avoided by using a suitable designed pump. Excessive shear, friction or solution recirculation should be avoided. Pumps should be avoided of static electric with the methods such as grounding etc.

CONTAMINATION

Dealing with combustible materials special care must be taken to avoid contamination. In general rust, metal fillings, FRP grinding dust and airborne dust must be kept away.

Unused portions of MEKP shouldn't be returned to the container. When transferring MEKP to another container, please inspect the container carefully and make sure no foreign materials in there.
