It is important for many industries to have accurate and fast detection of hydrogen peroxide to avoid the gas reaching dangerous toxic levels.
Discover our range of H2O2 monitors and associated instruments. Designed specifically for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. Our hydrogen peroxide gas detector range includes:
TOC-750 Series Sampling Gas Detector
(Short Term exposure Limit – 15mins)
(Time Weighted Average – 8 hrs)
1ppm
2ppm
Optional
In its pure form Hydrogen Peroxide is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water. It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or “high-test peroxide”, is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant in rocketry.
Hydrogen Peroxide can be corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. This chemical can cause burns to the skin and tissue damage to the eyes.
Take special caution to avoid contact with hydrogen peroxide mist. Household-grade concentrations of this chemical are generally considered safe to use, but should never be ingested. Due to these potential hazards, hydrogen peroxide should be handled with care.
Hydrogen peroxide is most commonly available as a solution in water. For consumers, it is usually available from pharmacies at 3 and 6 % by weight concentrations. The concentrations are sometimes described in terms of the volume of oxygen gas generated; one millilitre of a 20-volume solution generates twenty millilitres of oxygen gas when completely decomposed. For laboratory use, 30 wt% solutions are most common. Commercial grades from 70% to 98% are also available, but due to the potential of solutions of more than 68% hydrogen peroxide to be converted entirely to steam and oxygen (with the temperature of the steam increasing as the concentration increases above 68%) these grades are potentially far more hazardous and require special care in dedicated storage areas.

Finally there are some niche uses which include Chemiluminescence of cyalume, as found in a glow stick. Hydrogen peroxide has various domestic uses, primarily as a cleaning and disinfecting agent and as a hair bleaching agent. Hydrogen peroxide is also used for tooth whitening. It may be found in most whitening toothpastes. Hydrogen Peroxide can also be used to remove blood stains. This is because it reacts with blood as a bleaching agent, and so if a blood stain is fresh, or not too old, liberal application of hydrogen peroxide, if necessary in more than single application, will bleach the stain fully out. After about two minutes of the application, the blood should be firmly blotted out.
With the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide and wide variety of uses, it is important users have hydrogen peroxide gas detector onsite. As mentioned above IGD can provide a variety of H2O2 gas detector solutions to protect staff and visitors from the deadly effects of H2O2.
Fixed hydrogen peroxide gas detector:
Our TOC-750S Aspirated gas detector is ideal for cleanrooms or where hydrogen peroxide use is a common occurrence. With the ability to sample from up to 20M away you can easily sample from outside of the environment. Thus reducing the surface area and negating any bug/dirt traps. In addition with the TOC-750S aspirated hydrogen peroxide gas detector unique “sensor protect” function, this means when fumigation is happening, the detector will not be overexposed to hydrogen peroxide. Thus ensuring not only a stable and accurate reading but the added benefit of extended lifetimes.
