Industrial hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant, mainly used for:
1. Sterilization and external medical use, such as wound disinfection.
2. The best ratio for a blood test: 6% hydrogen peroxide plus 0.005% methylene blue.
3. Higher concentrations (greater than 10%) are used in textile, leather, paper and wood manufacturing industries as bleaching and deodorizing agents.
4. Hydrogen peroxide is also one of the components of hair dyes. It is also used as a raw material for synthesizing organic raw materials (catechol), medicine, metal surface treatment agents, polymerization initiators, etc., and can also be used as a rocket propellant.
Industrial hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) is slightly thicker than water and chemically unstable. It is generally stored as a 30% or 60% aqueous solution. Its aqueous solution is commonly known as hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing and weak acidity.
