Handling Hydrogen Peroxide Safety Tips

On the Handling of Hydrogen Peroxide
Those who use hydrogen peroxide are active in nature and should use it with caution. When handling, make sure to clarify its properties and abide by the main rules to ensure safety.

1. Storage Method
Hydrogen peroxide should be placed in a cool, dry and ventilated place. Avoid open flames and hot topics to prevent it from being decomposed by heat, causing sudden rise in air pressure and risk of explosion. And it cannot be mixed with flammable substances, reducing agents, etc. Because of its strong oxidizing properties, it is easy to react violently when encountered, leading to fire and explosion.

2. Rules for Access
When taking it, protective equipment must be worn. Wear corrosion-resistant gloves to prevent it from corroding the skin; with anti-goggles to avoid splashing into the eyes. The action should be slow, do not spill. It is necessary to take an appropriate amount. If it is taken in excess, it will not only consume materials, but also increase risks.

3. WARNING OF OPERATION
Operate in a well-ventilated place. If it is in a closed room, the oxygen generated by decomposition will accumulate, and it will explode in case of a fire source. During operation, avoid too much contact with metal objects. Certain metals can catalyze its decomposition, promote quick reaction, and cause danger.

4. Emergency measures
Once hydrogen peroxide splashes on the skin, rinse quickly with a large amount of water to reduce corrosion. If it splashes into the eyes, it is even more necessary to rush and seek medical attention quickly. If there is a leak, cut off the fire source first, evacuate everyone, and then absorb it with inert materials to properly handle it, so as not to pollute the environment.

Handling hydrogen peroxide is a matter of safety. Everyone should keep in mind the general principles and act strictly in order to save the danger and use it for profit.
