AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Lab Alley (http://www.laballey.com) recently added 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to it’s chemical line. It is diluted by Lab Alley to 34% before being shipped to customers. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural solution and commonly used for organic chemistry applications. In contrast to “Non-Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide”, 35% hydrogen peroxide does not have toxic stabilizers added to the prepared aqueous solution. This is the reason it is considered “food grade”. Packaging sizes available from the Texas chemical supplier are 1 gallon, 4×1 gallon cases and bulk 55 gallon drums. The rapidly growing firm also sells other concentrations of H2O2 solutions such as 3%, 6%, 10%, 30% and 32%. These solutions are available in various volumes and grades for household and commercial use. The Austin, Texas based bulk chemical supplier quickly transports 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to laboratories, factories, workshops, homes, schools, medical and wellness clinics, individual consumers and farms all across America. Caution must be exercised when handling this high concentration chemical because it can cause skin damage. Therefore, for safety reasons, consumers usually dilute 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to weaker solutions such as 12% or lower, before they use it.

Discovered by French chemist Louis Jacques in 1818, hydrogen peroxide is now one of the most frequently used chemicals in the United States. It has numerous cosmetic uses and treats acne. You can make toothpaste with baking soda, salt and hydrogen peroxide. It has a controversial role in alternative medicine. It is an eco-friendly fruit and vegetable wash. Hydrogen peroxide solutions, such as 3%, are commonly used for cleaning around the house. Hydrogen peroxide solutions, such as 6% are used for lightening hair. Hydrogen peroxide is a great substitute for chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs. The pale blue liquid is used to bleach wheat flour, sterilize food packages and germinate seeds. Certified 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is used for bacterial and fungal control, and for plant/ garden/ botanical cultivation. Hydrogen Peroxide is classified as a mild disinfectant, deodorizing agent, oxidizing agent and bleaching agent and bactericidal. Ethanol and hydrogen peroxide are used extensively in botanical extraction processes. Lab Alley’s line of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is used by farmers, industrial agriculture companies and gardeners all over North America. It is purchased for pest control, treating root rot, pre-treating seeds and to boost plant growth.

Lab Alley is a bulk hydrogen peroxide e-commerce retailer, supplier, wholesaler, and distributor. Lab Alley’s online chemical shop sells solvents, acids, reagents, organic chemicals, buffers, caustics, bases, prepared solutions, inorganic chemicals and laboratory supplies to business and individuals online in the USA. Because many buyers in the United States require fast shipping times, Lab Alley ships 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide the same day or next day.

“It took our team some time and planning to roll out the product offering of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in several sizes but we are glad we did. We are happy with the sales numbers. Additionally, we are very pleased that we are solving a problem by having a high demand product with limited supply available to customers in the marketplace”, says Fred Elabed, Partner of Lab Alley LLC.
