Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Shelf Life

On the shelf life of food-grade hydrogen peroxide
Food-grade hydrogen peroxide is useful in everyone's life and various industries. However, people are often confused, what is its shelf life? This is really related to the suitability and safety of use.

The shelf life of food-grade hydrogen peroxide cannot be generalized. It is often influenced by many factors. The first one is the storage environment. If placed in a cool, dry and dark corner, the temperature is constant in a moderate area, and its shelf life can be extended. Covered hydrogen peroxide is active, and it is easy to decompose when heated and exposed to light. If it is exposed to high temperature and light, its decomposition increases rapidly, and the shelf life will decrease sharply.

Furthermore, the quality of the packaging is also the key. High-quality airtight packaging can effectively block the intrusion of external factors. The airtight capacity can prevent air and water vapor from entering and slow down the deterioration of hydrogen peroxide. If the packaging is omitted, air and water vapor will invade, and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will intensify, and the shelf life will also be shortened.

Generally speaking, unopened food-grade hydrogen peroxide can have a shelf life of several years when it is suitable for storage. However, once opened and contacted with the outside world, its shelf life will be greatly reduced. Or only a few months, it is unknown. After unsealing, external impurities, microorganisms, etc. are easy to enter and catalyze the process of decomposition.

Therefore, if you want to protect the effect of food-grade hydrogen peroxide, you should be careful about storage. If it is not opened, keep it for storage; after unsealing, use it quickly and store it well, and check it regularly. If there is any change in properties, you must not use it again to avoid all kinds of hidden dangers. In this way, you can make the best use and keep it safe.
