Hydrogen Peroxide, 50% Solution (GFS 43991/43993/43994)

$78.80
Description
  • Concentrated hydrogen peroxide: This is a 50% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, with a stated concentration range of 45-55%. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong, versatile oxidizer used across cleaning, disinfection, bleaching, water and wastewater treatment, and a wide range of oxidation chemistry in both laboratory and industrial settings. At 50%, it is far more concentrated than the dilute household product, delivering substantial oxidizing power for demanding applications.
  • Where the concentrated grade is used: The higher concentration makes this grade efficient for industrial and laboratory tasks that would need impractically large volumes of dilute peroxide: treating process and waste water, driving oxidation reactions, bleaching, and heavy-duty cleaning and disinfection. Because hydrogen peroxide breaks down ultimately into water and oxygen, it is often favored where a powerful oxidizer is needed without leaving persistent chemical residues behind.
  • Verified identity: The LabPro listing gives CAS number 7722-84-1 and formula H2O2, with UN number 2014 and the DOT shipping name Hydrogen Peroxide, Aqueous Solutions. The product is offered in 500 mL, 4 L, and 20 L sizes. Confirming the concentration range and identifiers is worthwhile before use, since the appropriate handling and dilution depend on knowing the exact strength of the peroxide being used.
  • Hazards, storage, and retesting: At this concentration hydrogen peroxide is a hazardous oxidizer that can be corrosive and reactive. It must be handled with appropriate protective equipment, kept away from incompatible and combustible materials, and stored in its original vented container away from heat and light. Because peroxide slowly decomposes, the manufacturer recommends periodically retesting the concentration. The Safety Data Sheet should always be reviewed before use.

FAQs

What is 50% hydrogen peroxide used for?

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer used for cleaning, disinfection, bleaching, water treatment, and oxidation reactions in laboratory and industrial chemistry. At 50%, it is far more concentrated than household peroxide, so it delivers strong oxidizing power for demanding applications while requiring careful handling.

What concentration is this product?

It is a 50% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, with a stated concentration range of 45-55%, CAS number 7722-84-1, formula H2O2. Because peroxide concentration can drift over time, the manufacturer recommends periodically retesting the concentration to confirm it still meets your needs.

Is 50% hydrogen peroxide hazardous?

Yes. At this concentration it is a hazardous oxidizer that can be corrosive and reactive. Handle it with appropriate protective equipment, keep it away from incompatible and combustible materials, and store it per the manufacturer's guidance. Always review the Safety Data Sheet before use, as it ships as UN 2014.

What sizes are available?

The solution is offered in 500 mL, 4 L, and 20 L sizes. Choosing an appropriate size helps manage storage of a reactive oxidizer, since buying only what you will use within a reasonable period limits on-hand hazardous inventory and reduces the effect of gradual concentration loss over time.

How should it be stored?

Store hydrogen peroxide according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically in its original vented container, away from heat, light, incompatible materials, and combustibles. Because it can slowly decompose, retest concentration periodically and follow the Safety Data Sheet for proper storage and handling to maintain safety and performance.
