Understanding H2O2 For Vaporized Hydrogen
Peroxide (VHP)
January 24, 2020 Technical Tip
In certain instances, the application or intended use of the product dictates the type
of hydrogen peroxide that must be selected. Technical grades are typically used as a
liquid while food and semi-conductor grades are used either as a liquid or vapor.
Additionally, when dealing with food and beverage applications, certain regulatory
requirements may specify certain grades and levels of acceptable residuals.
Generally, food and semi-conductor grades are recommended for use in hydrogen
peroxide vapor equipment due to their lower stabilizer levels than technical grade.
Using the wrong hydrogen peroxide formulation can result in equipment downtime,
costly repairs and possible concerns regarding efficacy of the process. Due to these
potential issues, most equipment manufacturers offer a proprietary formulation to
ensure the safe and effective use of the equipment for the intended application,
maintaining compliance with applicable regulations.
