Hydrogen Peroxide 30% ACS Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 30% ACS Grade is a high-purity, colorless liquid solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) formulated to meet stringent analytical and chemical process requirements. The ACS grade specification ensures trace metals and impurities are tightly controlled, supporting reliable performance in critical applications such as analytical reagents, material oxidation reactions, and quality-control testing. Typical assay values are centered around 30 wt% H₂O₂, with an assay range of 29.5–30.5 wt% verified by titration with standardized NaOH. The product exhibits a low color (APHA ≤ 10, typical ≈ 5) and a low residue after ignition, underscoring its suitability for precision lab work where impurity minimization is essential.

This ACS-grade solution is stabilized and maintained under controlled conditions to minimize decomposition, with specifications designed to ensure consistency across batches. The solution is compatible with aqueous systems and is shipped in containers appropriate for oxidizers to preserve integrity. Throughout handling and storage, adherence to the SDS and relevant standards (ACS Reagent Grade and USP-NF Monograph) is essential to maintain safety, purity, and performance in high-purity analytical and industrial environments.

Safety Precautions

Handle Hydrogen Peroxide 30% ACS Grade with appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and a lab coat. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in HDPE or glass containers designed for oxidizers, and protect from organic materials and reducing agents to minimize rapid decomposition. Ensure adequate ventilation during handling to avoid inhalation of vapors, and maintain containers sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and concentration changes. Follow storage and handling procedures in the SDS and under applicable regulations (ACS Reagent Grade and USP-NF Monograph compliance).

In case of exposure, rinse affected areas with copious amounts of water: eyes should be flushed for several minutes and contaminated clothing removed promptly. For inhalation, move to fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. In the event of ingestion, rinse mouth and do not induce vomiting; seek immediate medical care. In case of a fire, treat as an oxidizer with appropriate extinguishing media and avoid contact with organic solvents or heat sources. Transport and spill response should follow UN 2014 guidelines and local regulatory requirements.
