Hydrogen Peroxide 10% Caster Compatibility

Chemical Overview

Molecular Formula: H₂O₂

Physical Properties: Hydrogen peroxide (10% aqueous solution) is a colorless liquid with a slight odor. It has a density of ~1.04 g/cm³, is miscible with water, and is a mild oxidant. (Source: PubChem)

Industrial Applications

Hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and in chemical synthesis. Caster wheels may be exposed in medical facilities or manufacturing plants.

Wheel Material Compatibility Summary

Best Suited (A/B): Polyolefin, Nylon Glass Filled, and Polyurethane on Aluminum Core are highly resistant to 10% hydrogen peroxide.

Avoid (C/D): Avoid Ductile Cast Iron, V-Grooved Iron, and Rubber due to potential oxidation or degradation.
