description	Use when handling Class 5.1 oxidizers or 5.2 organic peroxides. Reactivity, packaging, temperature control, segregation.

Class 5 Oxidizers Organic Peroxides

Divisions

• 5.1 Oxidizers (ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide)
• 5.2 Organic peroxides (benzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide)

Reactivity

Oxidizers accelerate combustion. Organic peroxides self-react above critical temp.

Packaging

• 5.1: UN-rated compatible
• 5.2: Temperature-controlled (refrigerated)
• Some 5.2 require temperature monitoring + alarms

Segregation

• 5.1 + Class 3 flammable = X
• 5.1 + Class 4 = X

Examples

Ammonium nitrate (UN1942). Hydrogen peroxide (UN2014).
