Product Overview
Hydrogen Peroxide 10% ACS Grade is a clear, colorless aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (CAS 7722-84-1) formulated to meet strict American Chemical Society standards. This high-purity chemical reagent is a stable, mild oxidizing agent utilized across diverse industrial, analytical, and manufacturing workflows. Because it is manufactured with precise purity controls, it contains minimal metal impurities and stabilizer residues, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications. As a key chemical building block, it provides dependable reactivity without introducing unwanted contaminants into sensitive processes.
Alliance Chemical delivers this product to meet the strict requirements of laboratories, research institutions, and specialty chemical manufacturers. Our 10% concentration balances oxidizing potential with ease of handling, minimizing the extreme hazards associated with higher concentrations while maintaining professional-grade efficacy. Every batch undergoes strict quality control protocols to verify concentration, trace metal profiles, and acidity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available upon request for every lot shipped, and a comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is provided with every order to support your regulatory compliance.
Why This Grade
ACS Grade is the benchmark for high-purity laboratory applications. The American Chemical Society sets strict specifications for reagent chemicals to limit trace metals, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, heavy metals, and residue after evaporation. In chemical synthesis and analysis, choosing a lesser grade can introduce transition metal ions that catalytically decompose hydrogen peroxide prematurely. This decomposition alters the effective concentration, leading to failed reactions, inconsistent test results, and compromised synthesis yields.
Selecting a 10% concentration is critical for processes requiring a controlled, moderate oxidation rate. Utilizing a higher concentration like 35% or 50% can cause runaway exothermic reactions, while lower concentrations may lack the necessary chemical activity. In industries such as electronics manufacturing or specialty organic synthesis, using the wrong grade can lead to localized contamination on wafer surfaces or poison expensive catalysts, causing catastrophic failure in production runs. Our ACS Grade guarantees the reliability and reproducibility required for these critical environments.

Hazmat & Shipping
Hydrogen Peroxide 10% ACS Grade is classified as a hazardous material for transport. It is regulated under DOT guidelines and must be shipped 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. No subsidiary hazard class applies to this concentration. The regulatory signal word for this chemical is Danger. Because it is an oxidizer, strict compliance with transport regulations is maintained across our entire shipping process to ensure safe delivery to your industrial facility.
Safe handling of this chemical requires proper personal protective equipment (PPE) selected to mitigate the hazards associated with its GHS classifications. This solution is associated with hazard codes H271, H302, H314, and H332, indicating it can cause severe skin burns, eye damage, and harm if swallowed or inhaled. Operators must wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and splash-resistant goggles to prevent physical contact. In environments with inadequate ventilation, a respirator approved for acid mists or organic vapors should be used. Ensure all safety protocols, as outlined in the provided SDS, are followed diligently.
Handling & Storage
Proper storage is essential to maintain the stability of Hydrogen Peroxide 10% ACS Grade. Store this product in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, ideally at temperatures between 59°F and 77°F. Ensure containers are kept tightly closed and constructed of compatible materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or specially passivated stainless steel. Avoid contact with incompatible substances, including strong reducing agents, heavy metals, organic solvents, combustible materials, and strong bases, as these can trigger rapid catalytic decomposition and dangerous pressure buildup.
