Introduction
Standard Grade hydrogen peroxide is formulated with an inorganic tin-based stabilizer system for high stability and long-term storage. The 70% concentration is adaptable for dilution to 35% or 50% concentration with most ordinary tap water found in North America. This permits a customer to achieve maximum economy by purchasing hydrogen peroxide at 70% concentration and diluting it to 35% or 50% for storage. This hydrogen peroxide product is suitable for storage at 70% concentration if desired. Product diluted and drummed at FMC locations meets the stringent assay and stability specifications below.
Standard Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is used extensively for pulp, textile, and environmental applications. It is the most suitable grade available for industrial purposes and should be used whenever possible.

Standard Containers
Polyethylene drums: 15 gallon (56.8 liter), 30 gallon (113.6 liter), 55 gallon (208.2 liter).
Bulk shipments are available in tank trucks and tank cars.
Hydrogen peroxide above 8% concentration is classified as an "Oxidizer" by the Department of Transportation and all containers must carry the yellow DOT label.
Safety and Handling
Hydrogen peroxide is a very reactive chemical and must be handled carefully. It should be stored in the original containers until ready for use, and any material removed from the original container must not be returned to it. Personnel should wear rubber gloves, eye and face protection, and suitable protective clothing when handling this chemical. Utensils used for handling hydrogen peroxide must be of compatible materials like glass, stainless steel, aluminum or plastic. Hydrogen peroxide must not be placed in a closed, unvented container.
Any spilled hydrogen peroxide should be immediately flooded with water and washed away with large quantities of water.
Although neither hydrogen peroxide nor its decomposition products--oxygen and water--are systemic poisons, concentrated solutions irritate the skin, particularly mucous membrane tissue, and the eyes. If the chemical comes in contact with the skin, it should be immediately washed off thoroughly with generous quantities of water. If it contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and consult a physician promptly. If swallowed, drink lots of water but do not encourage vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
Clothing must be washed thoroughly with water should it come in contact with hydrogen peroxide. If allowed to dry in the fabric, the chemical may cause fire, particularly if the clothing is soiled.
Production and Distribution
FMC hydrogen peroxide is produced at three plants in the US and Canada with locations in Spring Hill, WV; Bayport, TX; and Prince George, BC. FMC maintains 16 distribution centers in the US and Canada with deliveries by a team of driver technicians to assure reliable on time delivery to customer locations. An international producer of H2O2, FMC also has a plant in Mexico, and affiliated plants in Spain, Thailand, and Holland.
