Hydrogen Peroxide (35%, 50%, 60%, 70%)
Stabilised H₂O₂ solutions for pulp, textiles, mining and water
Hydrogen peroxide (HS 2847.00) is sold as an aqueous solution by weight percentage, and the percentage decides both the price per tonne and the dangerous-goods rules. The standard trade strengths are 35%, 50%, 60% and 70%, stabilised so the solution does not decompose in storage. Under the dangerous-goods lists, solutions of 20% to 60% hydrogen peroxide are UN 2014, class 5.1 oxidiser with a class 8 corrosive subsidiary risk, packing group II; solutions above 60% are UN 2015, class 5.1 with class 8 subsidiary risk, packing group I. The higher strength carries more peroxide per tonne of freight but stricter packing and handling rules, so the buyer weighs freight saved against the extra cost of the package. The certificate shows H₂O₂ content, stabiliser, free acidity, non-volatile residue (evaporation residue) and, for electronic or food uses, specific metal limits. Packing is vented HDPE drums, IBCs and, for larger buyers, stainless or suitably lined ISO tanks, all kept clean because contamination triggers decomposition. UN Comtrade 2024 export declarations under HS 2847.00 total about USD 828 million across 84 reporters: Belgium USD 129 million and 235,000 MT, the Netherlands USD 96 million and 179,000 MT, Korea USD 77 million and 184,000 MT, Germany USD 63 million, Brazil USD 61 million, Thailand USD 54 million, Türkiye USD 13 million and Indonesia USD 12.7 million and 20,000 MT. Those are declared export values, not offers.
The buyer is a pulp and paper mill bleaching chemical or mechanical pulp, a textile mill bleaching cotton, a mining operation, a water or wastewater utility, an aseptic food-packaging line, or a chemical distributor. In the EU, hydrogen peroxide is a restricted explosives precursor under Regulation (EU) 2019/1148, applied since 1 February 2021: it may not be made available to, or introduced, possessed or used by, members of the general public above 12% w/w (Annex I, with an upper limit of 35% w/w for any member-state licence), while sales to professional users continue, with the seller verifying the customer's identity, business and intended use and reporting suspicious transactions within 24 hours. Every CBIL enquiry is screened, and the documents are the certificate of analysis (COA), the safety data sheet (SDS), a certificate of origin, REACH registration cover for EU imports and the end-use information the destination rules ask for. CBIL is a commodity brokerage company and brokers industrial hydrogen peroxide to professional and industrial buyers from Belgian, Dutch, Korean, Thai, Indonesian and Turkish producers and distributors, in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks, on FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF and DAP terms. Price is per MT and depends on strength, grade and pack. Send the strength, grade, end use, monthly tonnage, pack and discharge port, and the enquiry is screened and worked against it.

Hydrogen Peroxide (35%, 50%, 60%, 70%) — buyer questions
What are the UN numbers and hazard classes for hydrogen peroxide?
Aqueous solutions of 20% to 60% are UN 2014, class 5.1 oxidiser with class 8 subsidiary risk, packing group II. Solutions above 60% are UN 2015, class 5.1 with class 8 subsidiary risk, packing group I. The strength on the certificate decides the entry, the packing and the stowage rules.
How does EU Regulation 2019/1148 affect buying hydrogen peroxide?
It restricts hydrogen peroxide above 12% w/w for members of the general public (Annex I, upper licensing limit 35% w/w). Professional and industrial users can still buy; the seller verifies the customer's identity, business, VAT number and intended use, and reports suspicious transactions to the national contact point within 24 hours. It has applied since 1 February 2021.
Which countries export the most hydrogen peroxide?
UN Comtrade 2024 export declarations under HS 2847.00 total about USD 828 million: Belgium USD 129 million, the Netherlands USD 96 million, Korea USD 77 million, Germany USD 63 million, Brazil USD 61 million, Thailand USD 54 million, Türkiye USD 13 million and Indonesia USD 12.7 million. Those are declared values, not offers.
Which strength should I buy?
The one your process and storage are rated for. A 70% solution carries twice the peroxide of 35% per tonne of freight but falls under UN 2015 packing group I; the choice depends on storage rating and freight. Compare offers per tonne of contained H₂O₂ on the same pack and delivery basis.
