Hydrogen Peroxide 25% Technical Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 25% Technical Grade (H₂O₂) is a colorless, reactive aqueous solution utilized primarily as a strong oxidizing agent in industrial applications. This technical grade formulation maintains a consistent assay of 25%, ensuring predictable reaction rates for chemical synthesis, metal surface treatment, and bleaching operations.

Often referred to simply as Peroxide in industrial settings, this solution functions effectively in oxidation-reduction systems and effluent treatment. It features a specific gravity of approximately 1.11 g/mL and a pH near 4.5, making it stable for storage when handled correctly. Unlike higher concentrations used in propulsion, 25% H2O2 balances strong oxidative power with manageable handling properties for manufacturing and processing environments.

• Metal Finishing: utilized in pickling, etching, and surface preparation solutions for metals.
• Laboratory Use: Functions as a reagent for analytical chemistry and sample oxidation.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 25% is a strong oxidizer and corrosive to eyes and skin. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, combustibles, and reducing agents. Use only vented containers made of compatible materials (HDPE, Stainless Steel 316) to prevent pressure buildup from decomposition.

Personnel must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and face shields. In the event of contact, rinse immediately with water. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed spill response, first aid, and disposal protocols compliant with local regulations.

Benefits

Effective Oxidizer: Delivers high oxidation potential for bleaching and chemical synthesis.
Clean Decomposition: Decomposes into water and oxygen, minimizing chemical residue in process streams.
Versatile Packaging: Available in sizes ranging from 1 Quart bottles to 330 Gallon totes to suit various production scales.
