Hydrogen Peroxide Tech Grade

Whatsapp Order

Hydrogen Peroxide Tech Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) designed primarily for industrial and technical applications. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, acrid odor. Known for its strong oxidizing, bleaching, and disinfecting properties, this tech-grade formulation is typically used where high reactivity is required, often in non-food processes. It decomposes into environmentally benign by-products—water and oxygen—making it a preferred agent for sustainable industrial processes.

Description

Hydrogen Peroxide Tech Grade

Primary Uses

Industrial and Manufacturing

Pulp and Paper Industry: Used extensively for bleaching wood pulp and paper fibers to achieve bright, white products without chlorine-based chemicals.
Textile Industry: Employed as a bleaching and disinfecting agent for cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers to improve whiteness and fabric quality.
Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key oxidizing agent in the production of organic chemicals, epoxides, and peroxides; also used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and intermediates.
Water and Wastewater Treatment: Applied in industrial wastewater and process water treatment for oxidation of organic pollutants, disinfection, and odor control.
Environmental Remediation: Used for in-situ chemical oxidation to break down soil and groundwater contaminants such as hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Industrial Equipment Cleaning: Utilized in cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems to sanitize and remove organic residues in food processing, pharmaceutical, and beverage manufacturing plants.
Surface Treatment: Used for sterilization and disinfection of surfaces, pipelines, and tanks in industrial facilities.

Mining and Metallurgy

Applied in ore processing and extraction to oxidize impurities and enhance metal recovery; also used in gold leaching processes.

Secondary Uses

Electronics Industry

Used for etching and cleaning silicon wafers and electronic components to remove organic and inorganic contaminants.

Agriculture

Occasionally used as a soil disinfectant and to control pathogens in hydroponic and greenhouse farming.

Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Raw Material

Serves as a raw material or intermediate in the manufacture of cosmetic actives and disinfectants, though it must be purified and diluted for such uses.

Research and Laboratory

Employed in laboratories as a reagent for oxidation, sterilization, and analytical chemistry.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required: Acid-resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, protective apron, and respirator with acid gas filters
Handling Guidelines: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid inhalation and skin contact; prevent contamination and rapid decomposition
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling; prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air; administer oxygen if needed; seek immediate medical attention if breathing difficulties occur
Skin Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical care for burns or irritation
Eye Contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes; urgent medical care required for burns or irritation
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting; rinse mouth and seek immediate medical attention

Firefighting Measures

Fire Hazards: Supports combustion; can intensify fires; reacts violently with organic materials and metals
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray or fog; avoid dry chemical extinguishers unless water unavailable
Special Precautions: Firefighters must wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Decomposition Products: Oxygen and steam; may produce toxic gases under fire conditions
