Measured values for Hydrogen peroxide, and where each one comes from
27 measured values for 9 properties, read from 4 public databases. On 4 properties the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Boiling point
4 records, 141 to 150 °C
Used with vapour pressure to judge how readily the substance reaches the air you breathe.
- 286 °F
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
- 150.2 °C @760 [mm Hg]
- PAC Chemical Database, U.S. Department of Energy
Melting point
4 records, -11 to 0 °C
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
- 12 °F
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
Explosive limits
1 record
The vapour concentration range in air that will burn. Below the lower limit and above the upper limit it will not.

These are the public records read for Hydrogen peroxide, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
