Hydrogen Peroxide / hydrogen peroxide solution / H2O2

Hydrogen Peroxide is also used in the oil and gas exploration industry to oxidize rock matrix in preparation for micro-fossil analysis.

Hydrogen Peroxide or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidizer commonly used as a bleach. It is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). Hydrogen Peroxide is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as a propellant. The oxidizing capacity of Hydrogen Peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species.
