Hydrogen Peroxide 100 Volume (H₂O₂) – High-Concentration Oxidizing Agent for Laboratory and Industrial Use
Hydrogen Peroxide 100 Volume (H₂O₂) is a highly concentrated oxidizing agent widely used across laboratory, industrial, and sterilization settings. With its powerful ability to release oxygen, this 100-volume solution is equivalent to approximately 30% w/w hydrogen peroxide, making it suitable for demanding chemical applications requiring potent reactivity and purity.
Key Features
- Chemical Formula: H₂O₂
- Concentration: 100 Volume (~30% w/w) – high reactivity and oxygen release
- Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid; typically stored in amber or opaque containers to prevent light-induced decomposition
- Reactivity: Strong oxidizer capable of generating significant amounts of oxygen for chemical processes
- Storage: Keep in cool, dark environments away from incompatible substances
Laboratory & Industrial Uses
- Oxidizing Agent: Effective in redox reactions, especially for oxidizing organic compounds in research and analysis
- Disinfection & Sterilization: Used to sanitize surfaces, tools, and equipment in microbiology, molecular biology, and cleanroom settings
- Chemical Synthesis: Plays a critical role in bleaching, epoxidation, and the production of high-purity chemicals
- Environmental Applications: Applied in wastewater treatment and soil remediation due to its decomposability into water and oxygen
⚠️ Safety Precautions
Due to its high concentration, 100V hydrogen peroxide is corrosive and can cause burns, irritation, or respiratory issues upon contact or inhalation. Proper PPE (personal protective equipment) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats must be used. Ensure adequate ventilation and keep away from combustible materials.
