Product Description
Hydrogen Peroxide 50% is a clear, colorless, and highly effective oxidizing agent widely used in water treatment, textile bleaching, industrial cleaning, food processing, and mining oxidation processes. With the formula H2O2 and CAS number 7722-84-1, it decomposes into water and oxygen making it environmentally friendly. It requires careful handling and storage in cool, dark conditions to maintain stability. Zenco Systems Ltd reliably supplies this Technical Grade chemical across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East African region.
