What are the differences between commercial grades of hydrogen peroxide?
Standard grades like our HYPROX® products are typically used for bleaching and other industrial processes. These grades contain sufficient stabilizers to keep decomposition under control in a wide variety of applications. Special grades for chemical synthesis contain less stabilizer compounds, which could interfere with synthetic reactions. Distilled grades include both highly stabilized grades and high purity grades. Cosmetic grades contain high levels of stabilizers for dilution, cosmetic and personal care applications. OXTERIL®, Food Grade, PERTRONIC® and PROPULSE™ are all high purity, lightly stabilized grades for use in aseptic packaging, food industry, water treatment, electronic and propulsion applications, respectively. PERALKALI® is recommended for the most demanding stability problems including formulation of products at elevated pH .
