Did you know that there are SO many said Hydrogen Peroxide uses? What exactly is Hydrogen Peroxide anyway? It is the simplest compound (H2O2) with an oxygen-oxygen single bond. It is a strong oxidizer and is considered highly reactive and is even used as a propellant in rocketry that supports the combustion of fuel! It is a colorless liquid, slightly stickier than water. And because of its chemical reaction, it is often used as a bleach or cleaning agent.
There are DIFFERENT GRADES of hydrogen peroxide which is very important to know:
- 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore. This product is NOT recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn’t be ingested.
- 6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is NOT recommended for internal use.
- 30% Reagent Grade: This is used for scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is NOT for internal use.
- 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and is NOT for internal use.
- 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is the ONLY grade recommended for internal use.
- 35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly.
- 90% Grade: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel. Hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be volatile and extremely dangerous or even fatal.
Important things to know about 35% Food Grade H202:
- Do not use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide. Use distilled water, juice or aloe vera gel instead.
- It must be handled carefully because direct contact will burn the skin. Flushing with water is recommended.
- It should be stored safely and properly and tightly sealed in the freezer when not in use.
- Dispensing Hydrogen Peroxide is easier with a glass eye dropper.
- When using with vinegar, you will need two spray bottles. DO NOT MIX the solutions together.
- Light destroys peroxide rather quickly. It’s best to leave it in its original bottle and screw the cap on tightly.
