Shelf Life of Opened Hydrogen Peroxide
"On the shelf life of hydrogen peroxide after opening the lid"
Hydrogen peroxide, after opening the lid, its shelf life is often concerned by people. Hydrogen peroxide is active in nature and comes into contact with air when opening the lid. Many factors affect its shelf life.
After opening the lid, it comes into contact with the air, and impurities, microorganisms or cause its decomposition to accelerate. And changes in temperature and humidity are also related to its stability. In dry places at room temperature, its decomposition is slightly slower; if the temperature is high and wet, it decomposes quickly.
Generally speaking, hydrogen peroxide that has not been sealed has a longer shelf life. However, once the lid is opened, it can be as short as a few days, but it can only last a few months, and it will gradually lose its effectiveness. If you want to keep it for a long time, you need to keep it properly. It should be placed in a cool, dark and clean place, and it should be tightly covered to prevent air intrusion, which may prolong its shelf life.
However, although every care is taken, after opening the lid, the activity of hydrogen peroxide gradually decreases, and it is eventually not a long-term usable thing. Therefore, when using it, it should be replaced in a timely manner according to its condition to ensure its effectiveness, and it should not be delayed due to expiration.
