Description

Sodium Peroxide CAS NO 1313-60-6 is a powerful oxidizing agent with the chemical formula Na₂O₂, widely used in industrial chemistry for its strong oxidative properties. This compound is critical for processes requiring a controlled and potent source of oxygen or for chemical synthesis where oxidation is a key step. It serves as an essential raw material for manufacturers in the chemical, textile, pulp and paper, and environmental remediation industries.

Application

• Bleaching Agent: Used in the pulp and paper industry for bleaching wood pulp and in textile manufacturing for bleaching fabrics.
• Oxidizing Agent in Synthesis: Employed in organic and inorganic chemical synthesis to introduce oxygen atoms or oxidize specific functional groups.
• Oxygen Source: Acts as a source of oxygen in specialized applications, including certain types of air purification and rebreather systems.
• Wastewater Treatment: Utilized in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants in industrial wastewater.
• Metallurgy: Applied in metal extraction and processing, particularly for ore treatment and metal recovery operations.
• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a strong oxidizing reagent in analytical chemistry and research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Peroxide is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and safety data is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as organic compounds, strong acids, and reducing agents. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and its strong alkali nature, it must be kept separate from moisture and combustible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
