PermeOx®
Plus Technical
Data
CAS NO 1305-79-9
Introduction
PermeOx
Plus is an economical, viable and effective oxygen generating
compound for use in odor control, metals removal and bioremediation.
PermeOx is a passive, in situ approach to providing an oxygen source
for bioremediation. Successful bioremediation depends on proper mix of
nutrient, oxygen, and microbes. Often
the limiting factor of aerobic degradation of contaminants is oxygen
availability. Calcium peroxide releases oxygen so that indigenous
aerobic microbes may utilize organic containments.

Safety/Handling/Storage
Calcium
peroxide is among the safest to handle of peroxygen compounds.
It represents no significant hazards with regards to skin
contact, absorption, inhalation, or ingestion.
Airborne dust is irritating to eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Calcium peroxide should be handled in well ventilated, dust
controlled areas. When
handling large quantities, the use of dust mask, goggles, and gloves
is recommended.
Calcium
peroxide is an oxidizer, thus contact with combustible materials
(paper, cotton, organics, wood, leather, reducing agents, and other
oxidizers) should be avoided.
Calcium
peroxide is not flammable but will contribute oxygen to feed a fire. Contamination, heat, and humid conditions will enhance and
accelerate decomposition. Fires
involving calcium peroxide are best controlled by using large
quantities of water. However,
unlike most oxidizers, decomposition is endothermic.
Calcium
peroxide should be stored in a clean, dry place.
Do not expose to heat sources or high humidity.
Store away from combustible materials.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Handle spills by dilution with water.
