About Product
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a liquid that is pale blue in color and appears colorless when diluted. It is known for its oxidizing properties. The concentration of commercially available hydrogen peroxide solutions is usually labeled, which can range from 3% (commonly used in households) to higher concentrations for industrial applications. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable and gradually decomposes into water and oxygen over time, especially in the presence of light or heat. This makes it a versatile compound with various applications.
