The GHS information provided by 1 company from 1 notification to the ECHA C&L Inventory.

Butanoic acid, 3,3-bis[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dioxy]-, ethyl ester is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Butanoic acid, 3,3-bis[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dioxy]-, ethyl ester are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)

Peroxides, such as ETHYL-3,3-DI-(TERT-BUTYLPEROXY)BUTYRATE, 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. May explode from heat or contamination.
