About This Product
A 6% solution is stronger than common low-strength household peroxide and is treated as a laboratory reagent. In class it is used to show oxygen release as peroxide decomposes and how catalysts affect that decomposition. Only clean, compatible glassware or plasticware is used, to avoid contamination, and splash goggles and gloves are worn. The Hydrogen Peroxide 6% Reagent Grade is available for supply within India and for export to Bahrain, Botswana, Belarus, Ghana and Barbados.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is hydrogen peroxide kept away from heat and light?
It decomposes to release oxygen, and heat, light, metals and contamination encourage this, so it is stored cool, protected from light and in clean containers.
