High-Quality Hydrogen Peroxide Available at Competitive Prices – NBC Industries
Hydrogen Peroxide is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a bitter taste. Small amounts of gaseous hydrogen peroxide occur naturally in the air. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, decomposing readily to oxygen and water with release of heat.
Applications of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a versatile chemical widely used across different industries due to its strong oxidizing properties:
- Water and Wastewater Treatment: Used to remove pollutants, disinfect water, and control odors by breaking down contaminants through oxidation.
- Textile Industry: Applied as a bleaching agent for fabrics like cotton, wool, and silk to achieve brilliant whiteness without damaging the fibers.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for environmentally friendly bleaching of paper pulp, reducing the need for chlorine-based chemicals.
- Pharmaceutical and Healthcare: Used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and in oral care products for its germ-killing properties.
- Food Industry: Applied for sterilizing packaging materials and as a bleaching agent for certain food products under controlled conditions.
- Electronics Industry: Utilized for cleaning semiconductor devices and printed circuit boards.
- Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a raw material or catalyst in the production of various chemicals, including peracetic acid and propylene oxide.
Storage & Handling Guidelines for Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive and powerful oxidizer that must be stored and handled carefully to ensure safety and maintain product stability:
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid contamination with organic materials, metals, and reducing agents.
- Container Requirements: Use containers made from compatible materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or stainless steel. Containers should be tightly sealed and properly labeled.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear protective gloves, safety goggles, face shields, and chemical-resistant clothing when handling hydrogen peroxide.
- Handling Procedures: Handle with care to prevent spillage or splashes. Avoid contact with combustible materials and impurities that could catalyze decomposition.
- Emergency Measures: Equip areas with emergency showers and eyewash stations. Provide training for first aid and emergency response specific to hydrogen peroxide exposure.
- Transportation: Transport using approved containers under regulations for oxidizing agents. Protect against physical damage and temperature extremes during transit.
Packaging & Transportation
Hydrogen peroxide is supplied in 30 kg,35 kg,50 kg, 65 kg.
