Hydrogen Peroxide 6% ACS Grade

Product Overview

Hydrogen Peroxide 6% ACS Grade is a clear, colorless liquid oxidizer engineered for high-precision analytical and industrial applications. Commonly referred to as H2O2 or Peroxide, this solution meets the rigorous standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). With a typical assay of 6.00% w/w, it is optimized for stoichiometry, oxidation reactions, and controlled chemical processing where impurity interference must be minimized.

This ACS Reagent Grade formulation is characterized by strictly controlled levels of chlorides, nitrates, sulfates, and heavy metals. These low impurity profiles are essential for avoiding background interference in sensitive analytical methods such as iodometric titration and ICP-OES. From small-scale bench testing to bulk industrial processing, this product provides the consistency required for GMP- or GLP-compliant workflows and reproducible manufacturing outcomes.

• Textile & Paper Processing: Functions as a mild bleaching agent for delicate fibers requiring controlled brightness without degradation.

Safety Precautions

Hydrogen Peroxide 6% is a strong oxidizer. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, combustibles, and reducing agents. Use only vented containers made of compatible materials like HDPE or glass. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles, to prevent skin and eye contact.

In the event of a spill, dilute with large amounts of water. Do not return unused material to the original container to prevent contamination and potential pressure buildup. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive handling, storage, and emergency response guidelines.

Benefits

ACS Grade Compliance – Meets strict purity standards for analytical and diagnostic applications.
Low Impurity Profile – Minimized heavy metals and anions reduce interference in sensitive chemical reactions.
Versatile Packaging – Available in sizes ranging from 1 Quart bottles to 330 Gallon totes to suit any operation scale.
Clean Evaporation – Ultra-low residue after ignition (typically 0.01%) ensures minimal carryover.
