Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Technical Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Technical Grade (H₂O₂ 3%) is a colorless, aqueous solution engineered for industrial strength oxidation and processing. Also known as Peroxide, this technical formulation delivers stable performance as an oxidizing agent across a variety of chemical processes. It is widely used for oxidation, effluent treatment, and as a reagent in non-clinical laboratory settings. The solution is strictly controlled to ensure a consistent 3% concentration by weight (approx. 10 volume), making it compatible with standard HDPE and glass storage systems.

Unlike lower-grade variants, Alliance Chemical’s Technical Grade solution is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial specifications. It serves as a critical input for water treatment facilities, textile bleaching operations, and chemical manufacturing plants. The product is tested to verify low levels of trace contaminants, ensuring it meets the requirements for manufacturing and processing applications where pharmaceutical-grade purity is not required but reliability is essential.

• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a standard oxidant for analytical procedures and bench-scale experiments in research settings.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% is a strong oxidizer. Handle and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep away from organic materials, combustibles, and incompatible substances (such as reducing agents and alkalis) to prevent exothermic reactions. Use only vented containers made of compatible materials like HDPE or glass.

Personnel should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles, to prevent skin and eye contact. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed exposure controls and emergency procedures. In the event of a spill, dilute with large amounts of water.
