It’s well known that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be used for hair bleaching, but there are a lot of other uses as well.

We discuss 9 applications for hydrogen peroxide in this blog and we introduce you to our WatchGas PDM+. The perfect gas detector to detect H2O2. More information on the PDM+ ?

The industrial market has long benefited from the utilization of hydrogen peroxide, based solutions to solve a variety of water, wastewater, and air pollution treatment challenges.

Hydrogen peroxide is precarious and slowly decomposes in the presence of light. Because of its instability, Hydrogen peroxide is typically stored with a stabilizer in a weakly acidic solution in a dark coloured bottle. H2O2 is found in biological systems including the human body. Enzymes that use or decompose hydrogen peroxide are classified as peroxidases

Your bottle of hydrogen peroxide is too valuable to just stay in your first-aid kit. While the inexpensive liquid is known for its medical uses and bleaching hair, it’s also a resourceful substance that can be used in a host of other ways.

Hydrogen peroxide (formula H2O2) is a chemical compound that’s a combination of hydrogen and water. The clear liquid acts as a delicate antiseptic and comes in various potencies depending on its purpose: 3 percent (household use), 6 to 10 percent (hair bleaching), 35 percent (food-grade) and 90 percent (industrial). Most stores carry the 3 percent solution, packaged in a signature brown bottle.

You can supply the unit with an optional auxiliary pump.

For years, medical professionals recommended using hydrogen peroxide to treat minor scrapes and cuts. That’s because when it’s placed on the skin, it foams, which indicates it’s killing bacteria. Today, doctors know hydrogen peroxide also kills healthy cells, so many no longer recommend its use for that purpose. It also can be damaging if it gets in your eyes, covers a large area of your skin or is ingested, especially the food-grade hydrogen peroxide.

But no worries. H2O2 has many other helpful applications, some of which might be new to you. Here are nine.

1. Food/Aseptic packaging

Hydrogen peroxide is an extraordinary microbiologically safe reagent. Therefore, it is used as a sterilizing agent for the internal aseptic zones of the manufacturing machines and the surface of the packaging material that will be in contact with the food.

2. Helps grow your garden

Gardeners know one of the best substances for their plants is hydrogen peroxide. The all-purpose liquid can help with pest control, prevent infection on damaged trees, kill foliage fungus, and combat root rot, as well as improve plant growth. That extra oxygen causes the roots to absorb more nutrients. For pest control or growth, add one teaspoon to one cup of water in a spray bottle and mist the plant. To fight root rot or fungal infections, use one tablespoon per cup of water.

3. Remove Stains

Hydrogen peroxide is an extraordinary microbiologically safe reagent. Therefore, it is used as a sterilizing agent for the internal aseptic zones of the manufacturing machines and the surface of the packaging material that will be in contact with the food.

4. Disinfectant

Gardeners know one of the best substances for their plants is hydrogen peroxide. The all-purpose liquid can help with pest control, prevent infection on damaged trees, kill foliage fungus, and combat root rot, as well as improve plant growth. That extra oxygen causes the roots to absorb more nutrients. For pest control or growth, add one teaspoon to one cup of water in a spray bottle and mist the plant. To fight root rot or fungal infections, use one tablespoon per cup of water.

5. Textile Industry

Hydrogen peroxide is an extraordinary microbiologically safe reagent. Therefore, it is used as a sterilizing agent for the internal aseptic zones of the manufacturing machines and the surface of the packaging material that will be in contact with the food.

6. Chemical Synthesis

Gardeners know one of the best substances for their plants is hydrogen peroxide. The all-purpose liquid can help with pest control, prevent infection on damaged trees, kill foliage fungus, and combat root rot, as well as improve plant growth. That extra oxygen causes the roots to absorb more nutrients. For pest control or growth, add one teaspoon to one cup of water in a spray bottle and mist the plant. To fight root rot or fungal infections, use one tablespoon per cup of water.

7. Electronics Industry
