Sodium peroxide is a pale yellow, granular or powdery inorganic compound. It is primarily used as an oxidizing agent, bleaching agent, and in some chemical synthesis processes. It reacts vigorously with water and other materials containing moisture, releasing heat and oxygen.

1. Oxidizing Agent:

   • Used in laboratories and industry to facilitate oxidation reactions.

2. Bleaching Agent:

   • Employed in bleaching textiles, paper, and other organic materials.

3. Air Purification:

   • Generates oxygen by reacting with carbon dioxide in enclosed spaces, such as submarines and space vehicles.

4. Chemical Synthesis:

   • Acts as an intermediate in manufacturing certain peroxides and compounds.

5. Metal Recovery:

   • Assists in extracting precious metals like gold and platinum through oxidative processes.

1. Reactivity:

   • Reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and oxygen gas (O₂).
   • Avoid contact with moisture, acids, and organic materials.

2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

   • Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.

3. Storage:

   • Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials such as water, acids, and combustibles.

4. First Aid:

   • Inhalation: Move to fresh air and seek medical attention.
   • Skin/Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

• Purity: ≥95%
• Appearance: Pale yellow powder
• Solubility: Decomposes in water
• Density: ~2.8 g/cm³ at 20°C

• Hydrogen peroxide - urea is a white crystalline solid chemical compound composed of equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide and urea. It contains solid and water-free hydrogen peroxide, which offers a higher stability and better controllability than liquid hydrogen peroxide when used as an oxidizing agent.
