Hydrogen Peroxide Storage

Where Can I Store It?

•  Stainless Steel Storage Tank
  • When it comes to storing high-purity, concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions in the range of 10% to 90%, stainless steel tanks are the undisputed champions due to their exceptional resistance to corrosion and compatibility with this powerful oxidant.
    • Polyethylene containers (HDPE), Glass containers stores the chemical concentration of 10%
    • Polyethylene containers (HDPE), Glass containers with Teflon liners stores the chemical concentration of 30%
    • Glass containers with Teflon liners stores the chemical concentration of 50% to 90%
  • 3% - 5% concentrations can be stored in secure, well-ventilated areas within facilities, like dedicated storage rooms or laboratories.
  • 10% - 30% high concentrations require dedicated, well-ventilated storage rooms with fire suppression systems and secondary containment measures.
  • 35% - 90% highly concentrated solutions need specially designed storage buildings or warehouses with robust safety features and compliance with strict regulations.
  • Lifespan will vary based on the tank construction, maintenance, and environmental conditions. On average, the lifespan generally falls between 25-30 years but with proper care and maintenance, it lasts 50 years or more.
• HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
  • Generally safer and more reliable option than LDPE
  • The most common solution for storing hydrogen peroxide from 10% - 30%.
  • Offer excellent resistance to corrosion from hydrogen peroxide, even at the highest concentration (90%)

• LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
  • Not generally recommended for LDPE, as it can start showing signs of degradation even at lower concentrations (around 10%)
  • The degradation can lead to leaks, container failure, and potential contamination.

*Please be aware that hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns and tissue damage. Handle with care!
