Question 1

What is the difference between the grades of Hydrogen Peroxide?

Accepted Answer

Grade denotes the purity specification and intended use. ACS/reagent grade meets American Chemical Society purity tests for laboratory work; USP/NF and food grade meet pharmacopeial/food-safety standards; technical/industrial grade is process-suitable at lower cost. Concentration denotes the strength of the solution. Alliance Chemical publishes the exact specification and a certificate of analysis for each Hydrogen Peroxide variant.

Question 2

Which grade of Hydrogen Peroxide do I need?

Accepted Answer

Choose by application: ACS/reagent for analytical and lab work, USP/NF or food grade for pharmaceutical or food contact, technical/industrial for manufacturing and cleaning. Compare the specifications on this page, or contact Alliance Chemical to confirm fit for your process.
