Hydrogen Peroxide 25% ACS Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 25% ACS Grade is a high-purity, colorless liquid oxidizer formulated to meet American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications. Commonly referred to as Peroxide or H2O2, this solution is characterized by its rigorous impurity controls, boasting a low color profile (APHA typical 5) and minimal residue after ignition. These strict specifications ensure predictable reactivity for quantitative oxidations, bleaching, and sensitive analytical workflows.

Designed for industrial, laboratory, and manufacturing environments, this ACS-grade solution delivers reliable performance where trace metal interference must be minimized. It is widely used in chemical synthesis, wastewater treatment, and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. The product is stabilized to maintain integrity during storage and is compatible with standard HDPE and glass containment. This formulation is strictly controlled for chloride, nitrate, sulfate, and heavy metals to support high-precision applications.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 25% is a strong oxidizer (UN 2014) and must be handled with care. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from organic materials, reducing agents, and direct sunlight. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and face shields. Store in vented containers (HDPE or glass) to prevent pressure buildup from natural decomposition.

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety protocols. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water. If inhaled, move to fresh air. Do not induce vomiting if ingested. Spills should be contained with inert absorbents and disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
