Hydrogen Peroxide (CAS 7722-84-1)

This is classified as a Dangerous Good for transport and may be subject to additional shipping charges.

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an incredibly ubiquitous oxidant used as a reagent, disinfectant, antiseptic, and propellant. In synthetic chemistry, H₂O₂ is used for epoxidation and hydroxylation transformations, and is used as the raw oxidant source for generating more complicated and specific organic/inorganic peroxides. H₂O₂ in aqueous solution is used as a laboratory disinfectant and as a topical antiseptic. Studies investigating the correlation between free radical oxidative damage and neurodegeneration have utilized H₂O₂ to introduce reactive free radicals to cells and induce a model of oxidative neurodegeneration. The oxidation potential of H₂O₂ has further been harnessed in bipropellant rocket fuel formulations. The disinfectant, bleaching, and non-toxic properties of H₂O₂ provide a wide scope of industrial and commercial applications.
