Peroxide Grades

3% Hydrogen Peroxide (Drug/Grocery Store Variety)

Used as antimicrobial agent for treating wounds and sanitizing agent

[Made from 50% Super D Peroxide, Diluted. Contains stabilizers -

phenol, acetanilide, sodium stanate,

tetrasodium phosphate among them.]

[This peroxide contains known chemicals do not ingest!]

6% Hydrogen Peroxide

Used by Beauticians for Coloring Hair. Used as sanitizing agent.

Comes in strengths labeled 10,20,40 volume. Must have activator added

to be used as a bleach. [Contains stabilizers, additives, and

impurities dependent on manufacturing and dilution process. Do not

ingest.]

30% Re-Agent Hydrogen Peroxide

Used in medical research.

[Contains stabilizers, additives, and impurities dependent on

manufacturing and dilution process. Do

not ingest.]

30-32% Electronic Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

Used for washing transistors and integrated chip parts before

assembly.

[Contains stabilizers, additives, and impurities dependent on

manufacturing and dilution process. Do

not ingest.]

35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (Also 50% Food Grade H2O2)

Used in food products like cheese, eggs, whey products. Also used to

spray inside of foil lined containers for food storage - known as the

aseptic packaging system. Used for the disinfection of potable

water. Also used (diluted) to disinfect, kill bacteria, sanitize

wounds and introduce oxygen into the body. Eg. bathing, gargle,

toothpaste, treat drinking water, etc. [Contains stabilizers,

additives, and impurities dependent on manufacturing and dilution

process].

35% Technical Grade Hydrogen Peroxide What you should buy to dilute

for mold remediation.

Used for waste water treatment and the disinfection of potable water,

cosmetics, and laundry applications. Also used (diluted) to

disinfect, kill bacteria, sanitize wounds and introduce oxygen into

the body. Eg. bathing, gargle, toothpaste, treat drinking water, etc.

[May contain a small amount of phosphorus to neutralize any chlorine

in the water it is combined with.]

35% Standard Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (Also 50%, 60%, 70% Standard

Grades)

Used mainly for bleaching in the pulp and paper industry and in the

textile industry; oxidation reactions in the chemical industry;

environmental processes (detoxification and deodorization). Used

for Waste water treatment. [Contains stabilizers, additives, and

impurities. Do not ingest.]

90% Hydrogen Peroxide

Used by the military as a source of Oxygen at Cape Canaveral. Used as

a propulsion source in rocket fuel.

99.6% Hydrogen Peroxide

This was first made in 1954 as an experiment to see how pure a

hydrogen peroxide could be manufactured.
