Abstract:
Commercial 90 and 98 hydrogen peroxide, maintained at -60C in the solid state, decomposes at a rate of less than 1 ppm per day. As this is the order of magnitude of detection of decomposition in the equipment used it is believed that under these conditions high strength hydrogen peroxide can be considered stable and storable less than 0.1 decomposition in 3 years. Teflon TFE fluorocarbon film was inert to 90 hydrogen peroxide for 900 hours at 70C. There was no evidence of chemical attack on the film, nor any change in its physical properties. The mechanism of chemical attack of 90 hydrogen peroxide on polyethylene films between 50 and 70C. was identified, and found to vary, depending upon the structure of the polyethylene. Direct experimental techniques for observation of the decomposition products of hydrogen peroxide . OH and HO2. were developed.
