Hydrogen Peroxide 30% - Food Grade

Hydrogen peroxide at 30% concentration is a powerful oxidising agent widely used across the food processing, brewing, and beverage industries for its oxidising and bleaching properties. At this concentration it offers significantly greater strength than lower-percentage household grades, making it the preferred choice for commercial and semi-commercial applications.

In food and beverage production, 30% food grade hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in cleaning processing equipment, tanks, pipelines, and filling machinery, particularly in dairy, juice, and aseptic packaging operations. It breaks down into water and oxygen with no harmful residues. It is also widely used in the treatment of packaging materials, including cartons and containers used in UHT and aseptic processing.

Brewers and winemakers use food grade hydrogen peroxide for equipment cleaning and to assist in oxygen management during production. In the milling and baking industries, it functions as a flour improver and dough conditioner, where it acts as a bleaching agent to produce whiter, more consistent flour. It also finds use in the production of certain food ingredients and additives where controlled oxidation is required as part of the manufacturing process.

As with all high-concentration peroxides, safe handling is essential — 30% H₂O₂ is a strong oxidiser and should be stored away from heat, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials. Appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection should be worn at all times.
