What is liquid hydrogen peroxide vapor?
Liquid hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidizing agent used in industry for pulp, textile, and environmental applications. Industrial grade uses require concentrated solutions of 30 percent or greater. Diluted liquid forms of hydrogen peroxide are common household products used as cleansers for cuts and scrapes, and are available in 3 percent to 10 percent solutions. Vaporized hydrogen peroxide is registered by EPA as a sterilant that inactivates bacterial spores on environmental surfaces in an enclosed area. It is used in commercial, institutional and industrial settings to decontaminate or sterilize sealed enclosures such as isolators, workstations, and pass through rooms.
