We utilize a high hazard deactivation specialist to deactivate peroxide
containing materials. The specialist utilizes a hydraulic remote opening de

to open expired peroxide forming chemicals. Once the container is open the
material is deactivated using ferrous salts, amines, aqueous sodium
metabisulfite and stannous chloride, and sodium hydroxide. The deactivation
material will depend on the type of peroxide former. Our hazardous waste ha

accepts the material once it is deactivated. <
