The high-concentration food-grade hydrogen peroxide sold directly by the hydrogen peroxide manufacturer is hazardous, so we should mainly safety and protection when using hydrogen peroxide. Next, the editor will explain how to do safety and protection for you.
1. Non-toxic, but irritating to human skin, eyes and mucus. After hydrogen peroxide enters the human respiratory system, it can stimulate the lungs and even seriously damage the organs. When hydrogen peroxide splashes on the surface of the human body or in the eyes, rinse with plenty of water immediately;
2. Non-flammable, but it is a strong oxidizer. Especially when the concentration is high, it is easy to cause the combustion of other combustible substances. The higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, the easier it is to cause other substances to burn. When the spilled hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with other combustible substances, it should be rinsed immediately with plenty of water to wash off the hydrogen peroxide;
3. Under the catalysis of impurities, hydrogen peroxide will decompose and release oxygen and heat. The higher the ambient temperature and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, the faster the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide. Once the decomposition reaction is induced, the decomposition will accelerate by itself as the degree of exotherm and heating increases. As a result, the temperature of the material will rise further and more gases (oxygen and vaporized steam) will be produced. At this time, if the container is airtight, a high-pressure environment will be generated inside, which may cause the container to burst. Therefore, the container used to store hydrogen peroxide should be equipped with dust-proof vents to safely release the gas that may be generated.
Even though food-grade hydrogen peroxide is non-toxic, easily decomposed and non-combustible, we still need to pay attention to the operation method when using it to avoid the danger of hydrogen peroxide to us.
