Strontium peroxide

Strontium peroxide (CAS 1314-18-7), also referred to as strontium dioxide, is an inorganic oxidizing salt that releases active oxygen upon contact with moisture or acidic conditions.

Where is Strontium peroxide used?

• Textile and paper manufacturing: bleaching agent
• Fiber and pulp treatments: controlled, sustained oxidation profile
• Water treatment: slow-release oxygen for biocidal action against microbial contamination in process water and effluent systems
• Leather processing: hide treatment stages for uniform whitening without aggressive degradation of stronger oxidants
• Personal care: active oxygen source in hair bleaching and tooth-whitening product development
• It serves as a bleaching agent and biocide in industrial processing.

Good to know: Packaging in moisture-resistant containers is necessary given its reactivity with water under storage conditions.

Commercial specifications

• Active oxygen content and purity specifications typically confirmed by certificate of analysis
