Hydrogen Peroxide 10% Technical Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 10% Technical Grade is a clear, colorless liquid formulated for rigorous industrial applications. As a strong oxidizing agent, this solution provides a verified H₂O₂ assay of approximately 10.00% (range 9.5–10.5%). It is manufactured to strictly controlled technical specifications, ensuring a light APHA/Hazen color value and a density near 1.02 g/mL at 20°C. Commonly referred to simply as Peroxide in industrial settings, this H2O2 solution offers predictable dosing for oxidation, bleaching, and pH adjustment workflows.

Designed for professional use, Hydrogen Peroxide 10% effectively manages oxidation-reduction potential in chemical synthesis, textile processing, and wastewater treatment systems. The formulation is stabilized for storage in HDPE or glass containers, minimizing interaction with container materials. With a controlled impurity profile (low levels of chloride, nitrate, and heavy metals), it prevents unwanted catalytic decomposition, making it a reliable reagent for both laboratory-scale analysis and bulk industrial processing.

• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as an analytical oxidant and reagent in various assays and sample preparation protocols.
• Paper and Pulp: Acts as a bleach line additive to achieve targeted brightness levels while managing residual chemicals.
• Surface Preparation: Integrated into industrial cleaning cycles to remove organic residues and prepare surfaces for coating or finishing.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 10% Technical Grade is a strong oxidizer. Handle and store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use only compatible containers, such as HDPE or glass, to prevent material degradation. Ensure adequate ventilation and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid contact with organic materials, reducing agents, and combustibles, as these may cause ignition or rapid decomposition.

Emergency Response: In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If inhaled, move to fresh air. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed; rinse mouth and seek immediate medical advice. In the event of a spill, evacuate the area and contain with inert padding. Shipping is regulated under UN 2014, Hydrogen Peroxide, Aqueous Solution, Class 5.1 (8), PG II.

Benefits

• High Purity Profile: Minimizes trace impurities like iron and heavy metals to prevent catalytic decomposition and ensure process stability.
• Consistent Performance: Delivers predictable oxidation activity, crucial for maintaining quality control in manufacturing batches.
• Versatile Utility: Suitable for a wide array of technical applications, from chemical synthesis to heavy-duty industrial cleaning and bleaching.
