Reactivity Profile
SUCCINIC ACID PEROXIDE is a strong oxidizing agent. May cause organic materials to ignite. May react explosively with strongly reduced material such as sulfides, nitrides, and hydrides. Mixing with a catalyst (often a transition metal such as cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, or vanadium) as an impurity can cause rapid decomposition, a buildup of heat, and even an explosion. May explode from heat, shock, friction or contamination. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect.
Hazard
Fire risk in contact with combustible materials,
oxidizing agent. Toxic by ingestion and
inhalation, irritant to skin.
