Hydrogen peroxide is one of the cleanest industrial oxidisers. Its by-product is water, which is why many modern processes prefer it over chlorine-based oxidising systems where effluent quality and environmental compliance matter.
Supreme Petro Chemicals supplies industrial hydrogen peroxide from Chennai for water treatment, textile bleaching, paper processing, and chemical synthesis. Grade and concentration matter because performance and handling requirements change sharply between dilute and high-strength material.
What Is Hydrogen Peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide has CAS number 7722-84-1. It is a clear liquid and a strong oxidising agent. Commercial grades include 35%, which is the most common industrial grade, 50%, often used in paper and textile processes, and 3%, which is normally used in pharmacy and consumer applications.
SPC supplies 35% and 50% hydrogen peroxide for industrial buyers. Buyers should specify concentration, quantity, packing, and intended application when requesting a quote.
Industrial Applications
- Water treatment: Oxidises Fe2+, manganese, hydrogen sulphide, and selected organic pollutants. It can be used as an alternative to chlorine in drinking water treatment where process design supports it.
- Textiles: Used for bleaching cotton, wool, and synthetic blends. It is often preferred over sodium hypochlorite where fabric quality and effluent profile matter.
- Paper and pulp: Used as a bleaching agent in chlorine-free bleaching processes, including ECF and TCF sequences depending on mill design.
- Chemical synthesis: Used in epoxidation reactions, organic peroxide production, and oxidation chemistry.
- Food industry: Food-grade material only, for equipment sterilisation and aseptic packaging where approved.
- Electronics: Used with sulphuric acid in selected PCB copper etching and cleaning processes.
Why H2O2 Over Chlorine?
Hydrogen peroxide does not create toxic chlorinated by-products in the same way chlorine-based systems can. This can reduce effluent load and support cleaner process chemistry in industries with stricter environmental compliance.
It is not automatically safer in every situation. It is still an oxidiser and requires controlled storage, compatible materials, and trained handling. But where the process is designed correctly, it can offer a cleaner oxidation route.
Handling and Storage
Hydrogen peroxide must be kept away from organics, combustibles, reducing agents, and many metals. Store it in cool, dark, compatible HDPE containers. Decomposition accelerates above approximately 40°C, especially if contaminated.
Never seal hot containers. Oxygen release during decomposition can increase pressure. Use clean transfer equipment, avoid contamination, and follow the SDS for PPE and spill control.
