Hydrogen Peroxide 15% ACS Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 15% ACS Grade (synonyms: H2O2, Peroxide Solution) is a high-purity, colorless liquid oxidizer formulated to meet American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications. This specific grade minimizes ionic contaminants and stabilizers that might interfere with sensitive analytical procedures, making it the standard choice for laboratory reagents, chemical synthesis, and high-precision manufacturing.

With an active oxygen concentration of 15%, this solution offers a balance between potent oxidative capability and manageable handling characteristics. It is widely utilized in titration workflows, sample preparation, and trace metal analysis where residue must be kept to an absolute minimum (<0.01%). The product is packaged in UV-resistant containers to maintain stability and prevent degradation, ensuring consistent assay results for critical industrial and research applications.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 15% is a strong oxidizer and must be handled with care. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and a lab coat. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials, such as reducing agents, organic compounds, and metals. Keep containers tightly closed (vented caps recommended) to prevent pressure buildup from natural decomposition. In the event of a spill, dilute with large amounts of water. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency response protocols.
