Safety

Our Top Priority

The global leader in organic peroxide and metal alkyl safety

AkzoNobel is recognized as a global leader in organic peroxide and metal alkyl safety. Our proven success in safely handling hazardous materials is due to our long-term commitment to safety. We always place safety as our top priority.

Our products have been handled safely on a commercial scale for many years despite the hazards associated with their reactivity. These hazards are manageable given knowledge of proper handling techniques, carefully designed facilities and thorough training of personnel using written procedures.

Personnel who understand the properties of organic peroxides and metalorganics and who give proper attention to these compounds will be able to handle them safely and with confidence.

Safety programs

Sharing our experience in safety is one of the most important resources we offer. Through our safety programs we provide expert advice on the handling of our products including:

  • classroom review of safety and handling of organic peroxides and metalorganics
  • consultation on storage and dosing facility design
  • demonstrations on the safe use, handling and control of our products 
  • on-site assistance and advice regarding procedures
