Which statement best defines Type E Organic Peroxides?

• A. An organic peroxide that detonates rapidly and deflagrates
• B. An organic peroxide that neither detonates nor deflagrates and shows low or no effect when heated under confinement
• C. An organic peroxide with high explosive power
• D. An organic peroxide that reacts with water to detonate

Answer: (B)

Type E Organic Peroxides are defined by extreme insensitivity and low reactive potential. They are characterized by not detonation or deflagration and showing little to no effect when heated under confinement. This places them as the least sensitive among organic peroxide types, meaning they are much less likely to respond violently to heat or confinement. Descriptions that mention detonation, deflagration, high explosive power, or reaction with water to detonate describe more sensitive or reactive categories, not Type E.
