Hydrogen Peroxide is a widely used oxidising acid, albeit a relatively weak acid. Most Hydrogen Peroxide solutions are virtually colourless in appearance, apart from the most concentrated, which are very pale blue colour. ReAgent can provide solutions ranging from very dilute to very concentrated. The solutions we sell the most of are 20 Vols and 100 Vols, although other concentrations are available in quantities from 2.5L to up to 1000L.

Hydrogen Peroxide is used as a bleaching agent. In higher concentrations it is quite hazardous and should be handled with care only by competent persons. It has a wide range of applications, the most common of which being to bleach substances including paper, hair and bone. The paper manufacturing industry consumes a large proportion of the worlds Hydrogen Peroxide for bleaching paper. Being non-chlorine-based, Hydrogen Peroxide is better for the environment than chlorine based bleaches, such as Hydrogen Chloride. It is also odourless, so unlike chlorine based bleach it doesn’t give off a chlorine smell. For anyone who doesn’t know what chlorine smells like, think of the odour of your local swimming baths – that smell is chlorine.
