Hydrogen Peroxide With Standard Industrial
Product Description
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. In its pure form, it is a pale blue, clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen–oxygen single bond). It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent and antiseptic. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or “high-test peroxide”, is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant in rocketry.[5] Its chemistry is dominated by the nature of its unstable peroxide bond.
Hydrogen peroxide is unstable and slowly decomposes in the presence of light. Because of its instability, hydrogen peroxide is typically stored with a stabilizer in a weakly acidic solution. Hydrogen peroxide is found in biological systems including the human body. Enzymes that use or decompose hydrogen peroxide are classified as peroxides.
Specification
Application
Hydrogen peroxide, (H2O2), a colorless liquid usually produced as aqueous solutions of various strengths, used principally for bleaching cotton and other textiles and wood pulp, in the manufacture of other chemicals, as a rocket propellant, and for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Solutions containing more than about 8 percent hydrogen peroxide are corrosive to the skin.
Packaging
Bottled product should be packed in plastic drums. Bulk product should be transported by tank-trucks in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. In transportation, crashing and mixing with alkali, metals and metal compounds, flammable and reducing agent, high temperature should be avoided. Bottled products should be stored in well-ventilated shed with the Treasury or away from the fire source, heat source.
