Hydrogen Peroxide Pumps

An oxidiser that wants to become water and oxygen — everything it touches either helps or hastens that.

The properties that drive the choice

Hazard profiletoxic, oxidising
Concentration band in our data0–50%
In one lineStrong oxidizer — zero-leak drive recommended. Passivated 304/316 is standard; copper-bearing alloys catalyze dangerous decomposition. Ventilation of trapped cavities required.

Which pump families serve it

At a reference duty (20 °C, 10 m³/h, 30 m). Your duty point may move the answer — run it through the tool below; the full report adds the alternatives worth quoting in parallel.

Primary answerMagnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump (Metallic, sealless)Toxic, flammable, expensive or environmentally sensitive fluids — zero leakage
Typical wetted materialsStainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316L, Titanium Gr.2

Where the boundaries sit

  • Decomposition is catalysed by many metals and by dirt; passivated aluminium and specific alloys are the classic answers
  • Gas release from decomposition pressurises lines and air-binds pumps — venting is a design item
  • Concentration defines the hazard class; 35% and 70% are different specifications, not one fluid
