HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a pale blue liquid, widely used for its strong oxidizing properties. It serves as a disinfectant, bleach, and antiseptic in medical and household applications. Industrially, hydrogen peroxide is used in wastewater treatment, paper and textile bleaching, and as a rocket propellant. Despite its versatility, hydrogen peroxide can be hazardous. Concentrated solutions are highly reactive and can cause severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. It can also decompose explosively under certain conditions. Proper handling, storage, and safety protocols are essential to mitigate risks. Diluted solutions are commonly used for safer household applications.
