Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach Differences

"On the Difference between Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach"

Hydrogen peroxide and bleach, although both have their own uses, the difference is also obvious.

Hydrogen peroxide has milder properties. In many scenarios, it is often used for disinfection. In the field of medical treatment, it can clear wounds and prevent infection, because it can release new oxygen and kill bacteria. And when bleaching fabrics, it will damage less fabric fibers and can maintain the color and texture of fabrics.

And bleach, its effect is more fierce. It is mostly used in industrial bleaching, such as papermaking, textile and other industries, which can quickly remove the color stains of fabrics and make them white. However, it is highly corrosive, and if used improperly, it will damage fabrics and smell pungent.

From the perspective of chemical composition, hydrogen peroxide is H _ 2O _ 2, which is oxidizing and generates oxygen and water when decomposed. Bleaching agents are diverse in composition, commonly containing hypochlorite, etc., and have strong oxidizing power and can break the pigment structure.

Furthermore, the scope of application is different. Hydrogen peroxide is suitable for small area cleaning and disinfection, such as home wound care, fruit and vegetable disinfection. Bleaching agents are mostly used for large-scale fabric bleaching and industrial decontamination. Due to their strong oxidizing properties, they are not suitable for delicate items.

When used, hydrogen peroxide is easier to handle and can be diluted according to the instructions. Bleaching agents need to be cautious. Due to their corrosiveness, they must wear protection, strictly control the concentration and time, and prevent damage to items and injuries.

In short, the differences between hydrogen peroxide and bleach can be used to ensure safety and effectiveness.
