We utilize a high hazard deactivation specialist to deactivate peroxide con taining materials. The specialist utilizes a hydraulic remote opening devic e to open expired peroxide forming chemicals. Once the container is open th e 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 hauler accepts the material once it i s deactivated.
