Hydrogen peroxide is a clear, colourless, slightly viscous liquid miscible with water in any proportion. The versatility of H2O2 includes its’ high oxidation potential, the fact that it is effective over a wide pH range and that it is a liquid and therefore convenient to use. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear, colourless, slightly viscous liquid miscible with water in any proportion. The versatility of H2O2 includes its’ high oxidation potential, the fact that it is effective over a wide pH range and that it is a liquid and therefore convenient to use. These properties have given rise to a large and growing number of applications.
