Hydrogen Peroxide 60%
Formula:
H2O2
GOST/CAS:
CAS 7722-84-1
Hydrogen Peroxide 60% is a highly concentrated, colorless liquid chemical compound that serves as one of the most effective and environmentally friendly oxidizing and bleaching agents in the textile industry. It possesses powerful disinfecting and decomposing properties. During the reaction process, it breaks down entirely into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful chemical impurities or toxic residues on the fabric or in the wastewater, making it an indispensable component in modern textile finishing.
Applications
Fiber and Fabric Bleaching: Used as a core component for the industrial bleaching of natural (cotton, flax, wool, silk) and blended fibers. It ensures a high degree of whiteness and prepares the material for subsequent dyeing.
Dye Oxidation: Utilized in batch and continuous dyeing processes to fix and develop vat and reactive dyes on textile materials, guaranteeing excellent color fastness and brightness.
Desizing and Scouring: Effectively breaks down starch and polymer sizing agents on greige fabrics, preparing the textile structure for further mercerization and finishing treatments.
Wastewater Treatment and Neutralization: Applied in textile mills to degrade organic pollutants, decolorize process wastewater, and neutralize residual chlorine-containing compounds.
Key Advantages
High Bleaching Efficiency: Delivers an excellent and stable level of whiteness to textile fabrics without damaging the fiber structure, provided that technological guidelines are followed.
Eco-Friendly and Safe: The product is fully biodegradable. It decomposes solely into water and oxygen, and unlike chlorine-based bleaches, it does not form harmful organohalogen compounds.
Gentle on Absorbency: Enhances the capillary absorbency of fabrics, which is critical for achieving uniform dye penetration and sharp, even print patterns.
Storage Stability: Formulated with specialized stabilizing additives that prevent premature, spontaneous decomposition during transportation and extended shelf life in warehouses.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in dry, cool, and maximum ventilated warehouse facilities, completely protected from direct sunlight. Keep isolated from combustible materials, acids, and reducing agents.
- Recommended storage temperature range: from -20°C to +30°C. Do not allow the product to overheat.
- Store strictly in original manufacturer containers equipped with specialized pressure-relief valves (breathing caps/vents) to release excess gas.
- Transportation must be carried out by covered vehicles in strict compliance with dangerous goods regulations (Hazard Class 5.1 — Oxidizing Substances, Sub-risk Class 8 — Corrosive/Caustic Substances). Guaranteed shelf life is 6 months from the date of manufacture.
