Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), formulated specifically for use in food processing and related applications. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sharp, acrid odor. Renowned for its powerful oxidizing and bleaching properties, hydrogen peroxide is a strong antimicrobial agent and environmentally friendly disinfectant that decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues. The food-grade designation ensures compliance with strict purity standards, making it suitable for direct and indirect food contact uses, including sterilization, sanitation, and preservation.

Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade

Primary Uses

Food Industry

Sanitization and Disinfection: Used extensively for sterilizing food contact surfaces, equipment, and packaging materials to reduce microbial contamination and extend shelf life without chemical residues.
Food Preservation: Employed as a bleaching and oxidizing agent in processing flour, cheese, and other food products to improve texture, color, and shelf stability.
Bottle and Packaging Sterilization: Vital in aseptic packaging processes to sanitize containers and ensure product safety, especially for dairy, beverages, and liquid foods.
Washing Agent: Used to sanitize fruits, vegetables, and other raw food materials by reducing microbial load and removing pesticide residues.
Dairy Processing: Used in cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems for sterilization of milking equipment and dairy processing lines to prevent spoilage and contamination.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industries

Utilized in the production and sterilization of pharmaceutical products and personal care items, ensuring microbial control while complying with food-grade safety standards.

Water Treatment

Applied for disinfection and oxidation of drinking water and wastewater in food production facilities to maintain hygiene and comply with regulatory standards.

Agriculture

Used for seed treatment and crop sanitation to reduce fungal and bacterial pathogens, promoting healthier growth and yield.

Secondary Uses

Textile Industry

Used as a bleaching and disinfecting agent in the production of food-grade textiles such as packaging fabrics and food wrapping materials.

Laboratory Applications

Employed as an oxidizing agent and sterilizer in microbiology and food safety testing laboratories.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Used in sanitary cleaning agents for food processing plants, hospitals, and other sensitive environments requiring residue-free disinfection.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield, protective apron
Handling Guidelines: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin or eyes; do not mix with incompatible substances such as organic materials or strong reducing agents
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; no eating or smoking in handling areas

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing; seek medical advice if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes; seek immediate medical attention
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth and seek medical help immediately

Firefighting Measures
