Instructions for use for hydrogen peroxide 12%

To safely open the bottle of hydrogen peroxide 12%, first press the cap and then twist to open the child-resistant closure. Due to the higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide 12%, it is extremely important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment , such as gloves and safety glasses , to avoid direct contact with the skin or eyes.

To clean stains or remove deposits, we recommend first diluting hydrogen peroxide 12% with water to adjust the intensity of the solution. A recommended dilution ratio is 1 part hydrogen peroxide 12% to 3 parts water for safer use on most surfaces. Pour some of the diluted solution over the stain or dip a clean cloth in the diluted solution and gently rub the stain or surface you want to clean.

Repeat this process, if possible, using a brush and rubbing over the stains until you notice the stains starting to fade or disappear completely. After use, make sure to rinse the treated surfaces thoroughly with water to remove any residue of the solution.

Due to the strong oxidative properties of 12% hydrogen peroxide, it is important to proceed with caution and not to use the product on sensitive fabrics or surfaces without first testing it in an inconspicuous area.

Dilute hydrogen peroxide 12%

Diluting 12% hydrogen peroxide with distilled or demineralized water can be done to lower the concentration.

To dilute the product to a concentration of 6%, add 1 part water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide 12%. Repeat this to dilute this to 3%. When diluting, always use personal protective equipment such as chemically resistant gloves .

Chemical properties

• Density: 1.11 g/cm³ at 20 °C
• Melting point: -33 to 0 °C
• Boiling point: 107 – 114 °C at 1013 hPa
• Solubility: Completely soluble in water. It can dissolve in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and acetone, but hydrogen peroxide prefers to dissolve in water-based systems.

The substance is highly reactive and gradually decomposes into water and oxygen gas, especially when exposed to heat, light or catalytic agents such as manganese dioxide.

Storage and use

Store in a tightly closed, original container in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Protect from heat, direct sunlight, and contaminants that may accelerate decomposition.

Always dilute as needed and apply only in professional environments. Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and sensitive materials. Always test in an inconspicuous area before applying to unfamiliar surfaces.
