Hydrogen Peroxide in Plastic Bottle
On the placement of hydrogen peroxide in plastic bottles
Hydrogen peroxide is also a chemical substance. It is active and easily decomposes when exposed to heat, light or impurities. As for whether it can be placed in plastic bottles, it should be explored in detail.
Plastics are made of various materials. Common are polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. Generally speaking, if the plastic material is pure and has no impurities that promote the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and its structure is stable and can withstand the chemical action of hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide may be stored for a short time without serious harm.
However, caution is also required. Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing, and some plastics may be oxidized under long-term contact, causing plastic properties to change, such as brittleness and cracking. And if the plastic bottle is not well sealed, outside air, moisture, etc. may enter, or affect the purity and stability of hydrogen peroxide.
In addition, light is also a key factor. Plastic bottles are mostly not completely protected from light, and hydrogen peroxide is easy to decompose when exposed to light. Therefore, if stored in plastic bottles, it is advisable to choose a cool and dark place and shorten the storage time as much as possible.
In summary, although in some cases, hydrogen peroxide can be temporarily placed in a specific plastic bottle, in order to ensure its stability and safe use, long-term or large-scale storage, more suitable containers, such as brown glass bottles, are still selected, and relevant chemical storage specifications are followed to ensure safety.
