Description
2,5-DIMETHYLHEXANE-2,5-DIHYDROPEROXIDE is a white wet solid that may float or sink in water. It is particularly sensitive to temperature rises and can decompose violently above a given "Control Temperature". As a result, it is generally stored or transported in a water slurry.

Reactivity Profile
Peroxides, such as 2,5-DIMETHYL-2,5-DIHYDROPEROXY HEXANE, are good oxidizing agents. Organic compounds can ignite on contact with concentrated peroxides. Strongly reduced material such as sulfides, nitrides, and hydrides may react explosively with peroxides. There are few chemical classes that do not at least produce heat when mixed with peroxides. Many produce explosions or generate gases (toxic and nontoxic). Generally, dilute solutions of peroxides (<70%) are safe, but the presence of a catalyst (often a transition metal such as cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, or vanadium) as an impurity may even then cause rapid decomposition, a buildup of heat, and even an explosion. Solutions of peroxides often become explosive when evaporated to dryness or near-dryness. Decomposes in contact with many metals and acids [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.
Fire Hazard
Behavior in Fire: Decomposes violently when heated in fire. Can increase intensity of fire when in contact with combustible material. Containers may explode.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 3025-88-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,0,2 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3025-88:
(6*3)+(5*0)+(4*2)+(3*5)+(2*8)+(1*8)=65
65 % 10 = 5
So 3025-88-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
