Product Overview
Alliance Chemical provides high-quality Hydrogen Peroxide 15% ACS Grade, which is part of our comprehensive selection of high-purity Bases and oxidizing reagents for professional laboratory, manufacturing, and industrial operations. This aqueous solution is formulated to meet the rigorous specifications established by the American Chemical Society (ACS) for analytical reagents. By offering a standardized fifteen percent concentration, this chemical acts as a stable and predictable oxidizer in various synthesis and processing systems. Our facility ensures that each batch maintains strict consistency, providing reliable outcomes for high-tolerance industrial applications where trace impurities must be kept to a minimum to avoid interfering with chemical reactions.
Liquid-phase hydrogen peroxide (CAS 7722-84-1) with the molecular formula H2O2 and a molecular weight of 34.015 g/mol is a versatile compound with broad industrial utility. This specific concentration is often preferred because it balances reactive strength with ease of handling compared to higher, more hazardous concentrations. As an ACS Grade reagent, it undergoes stringent quality control testing to confirm the absence of interfering contaminants, such as heavy metals or organic matter, which can trigger premature decomposition or skew experimental results. Every order includes a comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to assist safety officers in maintaining proper workplace protocol.
Why This Grade
The ACS Grade designation signifies that this hydrogen peroxide meets or exceeds the official purity standards set by the ACS Committee on Analytical Reagents. For laboratories and precision manufacturers, using a lower grade can introduce unwanted transition metals or stabilizers that act as catalytic decomposition agents. These impurities can compromise chemical synthesis, alter reaction kinetics, or corrupt analytical testing results. Selecting our 15% concentration ensures that your processes operate within a highly controlled chemical profile, reducing the risk of batch contamination and guaranteeing repeatable performance across all your operations.
Choosing the correct concentration is equally vital for process safety and efficiency. A concentration lower than 15% may fail to provide the necessary oxidation potential, leading to incomplete reactions or requiring excessive fluid volumes that complicate downstream processing. Conversely, higher concentrations introduce severe handling challenges, rapid decomposition risks, and stricter regulatory compliance burdens. By standardizing on 15% ACS Grade, industrial operators avoid the failure modes associated with over-reactive or under-reactive solutions, maintaining maximum process efficiency without sacrificing safety margins in their facilities.

Hazmat & Shipping
Hydrogen Peroxide 15% ACS Grade is a regulated hazardous material due to its oxidizing and corrosive properties. It is shipped under DOT regulations as UN2984, Hazard Class 5.1, Packing Group III. The proper shipping name is Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution, with not less than 8 percent but less than 20 percent hydrogen peroxide. The applicable signal word is Danger. There are no GHS pictograms listed in the canonical hazard specifications for this concentration, but handlers must remain highly aware of its active chemical properties and potential risks during transit and transfer operations.
Safe handling of this chemical requires strict adherence to personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols keyed to its GHS hazard classifications. Due to the risks of skin burns and eye damage (H314), acute oral toxicity (H302), inhalation hazards (H332), and strong oxidizing potential (H271), personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, a splash-resistant face shield, protective apron, and closed-toe footwear. Ensure adequate ventilation or utilize an approved respirator to prevent inhalation of vapors in confined spaces. Review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every order to establish comprehensive safety guidelines for your facility.
Handling & Storage
Proper storage is critical to maintain the stability of Hydrogen Peroxide 15% ACS Grade and prevent accidental decomposition. Store this liquid in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, maintaining temperatures ideally below 86 °F (30 °C). Keep containers tightly sealed in their original high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or compatible passivated stainless steel vessels. Avoid contact with incompatible materials, including strong reducing agents, heavy metals, alkalis, combustible organics, and dirt, which catalyze rapid oxygen release. Refer to our general guidance on the hydrogen peroxide collection page for more details.
