Hydrogen Peroxide 15% Technical Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 15% Technical Grade (H₂O₂, also known as Peroxide) is a clear, colorless liquid formulated for industrial applications requiring strong oxidizing capabilities. This technical-grade solution provides reliable performance for chemical synthesis, bleaching, and process water treatment. The assay is strictly controlled between 14.5–15.5 wt% via iodometric titration to ensure consistent reaction kinetics in manufacturing environments.

As a versatile reagent, Hydrogen Peroxide 15% is utilized in metal finishing, textile processing, and effluent treatment. The solution features a low impurity profile with stringent controls on trace metals (Iron, Copper, Manganese) to prevent catalytic decomposition and protect processing equipment. This product is designed specifically for industrial use and is not intended for food, drug, or cosmetic applications.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 15% is a strong oxidizer. Store in a cool, vented area away from direct sunlight, combustibles, and reducing agents to prevent decomposition. Use only vented containers made of compatible materials such as HDPE or glass. Operators must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact.

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling, storage, and emergency procedures. In the event of a spill, contain with inert absorbents. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
