Hydrogen Peroxide
H2O2
Versatile oxidizer for bleaching, disinfection and wastewater treatment that decomposes to water and oxygen.
- Chemical name
- Hydrogen peroxide
- CAS number
- 7722-84-1
Product overview
Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid oxidizing agent that decomposes into water and oxygen, making it a preferred choice where residues must be avoided.
It is used for bleaching textiles and pulp, disinfection and sanitation, chemical synthesis, and oxidation of contaminants in water and wastewater treatment. Concentration is confirmed with each inquiry.
Applications
Typical uses for this chemical. Suitability for a specific process, and grade requirements for food, pharmaceutical or potable-water use, should be confirmed with our team.
