HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 100 ML

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) is a clear, colorless liquid widely recognized for its antiseptic, disinfectant, and oxidizing properties. This 3% solution, also known as “10 Volumes,” is ideal for external use in medical, laboratory, and household settings. It is commonly used for wound cleansing, oral hygiene (when diluted), surface disinfection, and as a reagent in chemical processes. The product is packaged in a 100 ml plastic bottle with a secure screw cap, ensuring safe storage and easy dispensing.

🔬 Composition & Strength

• Active Ingredient: Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)
• Concentration: 3% w/v (equivalent to 10 Volumes)
• Form: Liquid
• Volume: 100 ml
• Appearance: Clear, colorless solution
• pH Range: Typically 3.5–4.5

🧫 Mechanism of Action (Theory-Based Description)

Hydrogen Peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent, releasing nascent oxygen (O) upon decomposition. This reactive oxygen species penetrates microbial cell walls and disrupts essential biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. The oxidative stress leads to cell lysis and microbial death.

The bubbling or effervescence observed during application helps lift debris and dead tissue from wounds, enhancing the cleaning process. Its antimicrobial action is broad-spectrum, making it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
