The DOT placard for organic peroxides is a yellow diamond with "ORGANIC PEROXIDE" lettering and the hazard identifying number "5.2" on it.
The revised international version is red on top, yellow on the bottom, with a stylized flame symbol in the red and the numbers 5.2 in the yellow.
The DOT hazardous materials placard for organic peroxides may be - an all-yellow diamond shape with "ORGANIC PEROXIDE" and "5.2" lettering, or - the revised DOT placard which is red on top and yellow on the bottom, with a stylized flame in the red area.
organic peroxides
Organic solvents and amines.

Organic peroxides are organic compounds (compounds containing carbon and hydrogen bonded together) that contain a peroxide or O-O group, where one oxygen atom is single bonded to another. Each oxygen is bonded to another atom as well, at least one of those is carbon in an organic peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is inorganic as it does not contain carbon.
Hydrogen peroxide is a clear, colorless liquid that is miscible with water. It is a powerful oxidizing agent, capable of decomposing into oxygen and water. It is used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent due to its ability to break down organic materials.

There are two main types of peroxide: hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides. Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent, while organic peroxides are used as initiators in chemical reactions. Organic peroxides are more reactive and can be dangerous if mishandled, while hydrogen peroxide is generally safer for household use.
Hydrogen peroxide can produce foam when it reacts with organic substances like blood or dirt due to the release of oxygen gas. However, it may not foam on all substances as it depends on the presence of organic materials for the reaction to occur.
Only compounds are classified as organic or inorganic.The element hydrogen often occurs in organic compounds. It can also be found in inorganic compounds.All organic compounds contain the element carbon.
Peroxide refers to any compound containing an oxygen-oxygen single bond. Organic peroxides are a subset of peroxides that contain carbon atoms in addition to the oxygen-oxygen bond. Organic peroxides are commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and polymer manufacturing.
