E. Storage Arrangement. Storage aids should offer the most practical and efficient use of space

while simultaneously protecting the material from physical damage. Such aids may consist of

pallet racks, pallet support sets, bins, cantilever racks, drive-through racks, and gravity flow

racks. Bulk storage space should be available to accommodate single height palletized loads of

material that do not require storage aid support. Stacking heights of materials to be stored should

be limited based on ceiling heights, material weight, floor load weight limitations, and minimum

clearance required to accommodate fire suppression equipment.

4.16 DoD Storage Type P: Organic Peroxide Material Storage

A. Purpose. This storage area should be used to store those DOT-regulated organic peroxide

formulations that are classified by NFPA standard 43B as class I, II, or III. Classes IV and V are

considered low risk and may be stored in either type L or P storage.

1. Class I describes formulations that are capable of deflagration but not detonation.

2. Class II describes formulations that burn very rapidly and present a severe reactivity hazard.

3. Class III describes formulations that burn rapidly and present a moderate reactivity hazard.

4. Class IV describes formulations that burn in the same manner as ordinary combustibles and

present a minimal reactivity hazard.
