Hydrogen Peroxide — Material Compatibility

Name: Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Compatibility Dataset
Creator: Liberty Chemical Equipment & Supply, Inc. (LibertyCES)

Direct answer: Hydrogen Peroxide compatibility data spans 10 real published ratings across the concentration/temperature conditions tested, plus 3 additional material datasets below (seal, pump, and/or tube materials). Materials rated Excellent in at least one tested condition: PVC, Polypropylene (PP), PVDF, PFA, PTFE, Stainless Steel 316. Materials that show corrosion in at least one tested condition: Polypropylene (PP), Stainless Steel 316 — do not assume compatibility across all concentrations of this chemical.
