Product Overview
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) at 50% LR grade is a highly concentrated, versatile oxidizing agent widely used in laboratory settings. This solution offers exceptional purity, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in various chemical reactions. The 50% concentration provides a strong oxidative potential, making it suitable for demanding applications where lower concentrations may be insufficient. As a laboratory reagent (LR) grade product, it meets stringent quality standards, minimizing impurities that could interfere with experiments. The liquid form allows for easy handling and precise dosing, while its stability ensures long shelf life when stored properly. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues, which makes it an environmentally preferable choice for many applications. The 500 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between sufficient quantity for multiple experiments and convenient storage. This product is carefully packaged to maintain its integrity during transit and storage, with proper labeling to ensure safe handling.
FAQs
1. What precautions should be taken when handling 50% hydrogen peroxide?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing as it can cause severe burns.
2. How should this hydrogen peroxide solution be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Store separately from organic materials, metals, and other reducing agents to prevent decomposition.
3. What is the shelf life of 50% hydrogen peroxide?
When stored properly in its original container, this solution typically maintains its concentration for about 12 months. The decomposition rate is approximately 1% per year under ideal storage conditions.
4. Can this hydrogen peroxide be diluted for lower concentration applications?
Yes, it can be carefully diluted with distilled water to achieve lower concentrations. Always add the peroxide to water slowly while stirring, never the reverse, to prevent violent reactions.
5. What materials are compatible with this hydrogen peroxide solution?
Glass, certain plastics like HDPE and PTFE, and stainless steel are generally compatible. Avoid contact with most metals, rubber, and many organic materials as they may catalyze decomposition or react violently.
