Hydrogen peroxide and multipurpose solutions are used to clean and disinfect contact lenses (contacts). Both help to break up and remove trapped dirt, protein, and fatty deposits (lipids). Hydrogen peroxide solutions are generally preservative-free. This may be a better choice for people who are allergic or sensitive to the preservatives found in multipurpose solutions. However, hydrogen peroxide solutions are not risk-free and should be used according to the product labeling.

Use Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions Correctly

Placing hydrogen peroxide solution directly in your eyes or on your contacts before insertion may cause stinging, burning, irritation, or eye damage. The hydrogen peroxide solution MUST be neutralized to avoid eye damage. 

Neutralization can be a one-step or two-step process. The one-step process neutralizes the peroxide solution during the disinfecting stage using a contact lens case with a neutralization disc built-in. The two-step process neutralizes the solution after the disinfecting stage with a neutralization tablet that you add to the hydrogen peroxide solution. The neutralizer turns the peroxide into water and oxygen to make it safe to place your contacts on your eyes.

Always talk with an eye care professional before you decide which cleaning and disinfecting method you should use with your prescription contacts. Do not change your contact lens-care system before talking to an eye care professional.

Safety Tips 

• Follow all instructions in the labeling when you use hydrogen peroxide solution.
• Always use the case that comes with every new bottle. Do not use the old case when you get a new bottle of hydrogen peroxide solution. It will not neutralize the peroxide and may cause stinging, burning,  irritation, or eye damage when you place your contacts on your eyes.
• Always soak your contacts in the hydrogen peroxide solution for the required length of time indicated on the labeling. The neutralizing process must finish before you place your contacts on your eyes.
• Never rinse your contacts with non-neutralized hydrogen peroxide solution before insertion or put non-neutralized hydrogen peroxide solution directly in your eyes. You may experience stinging, burning, irritation, or eye damage. The red tip and cap on most hydrogen peroxide solution bottles are a way to recognize that hydrogen peroxide is inside and takes special care. 
• Never allow others to use your hydrogen peroxide solution. They may confuse it with multipurpose solution and not use it according to the specific instructions. This may result in stinging, burning, irritation, or damage to their eyes.

Incorrect care of contacts can increase your risk of eye infections and injury, and can cause blindness in rare cases.

Report any problems associated with hydrogen peroxide solutions to the FDA’s MedWatch voluntary reporting program.

Considering Buying Bulk Hydrogen Peroxide?

Perhaps you are considering buying bulk hydrogen peroxide, to save money, or because you go through a lot of it. Having a large quantity of peroxide on hand can be convenient if you use up a lot, and it can also save you money.

Is it Worthwhile to Buy a Large Quantity?

Whether to buy a large quantity of hydrogen peroxide may take some consideration and some thinking, and even some calendar time to decide.... Which is fine, no need to rush!

The sources I know of for buying in quantity are for buying 35% peroxide, which is MUCH more risky to ship, handle and store.

So the first questions are:

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Hydrogen Peroxide Supplier(ar,az,be).

• Have you used 35% hydrogen peroxide before?
• Are you willing to learn about, deal with, and be responsible for the risks and precautions necessary?

Next there are a few practical questions like:

• Do you have room to store a big vat of peroxide (someplace safe and out of your way and ideally cool)?
• Do you use up enough peroxide to make it worth considering buying a lot at once?
• Will you use it up?

Okay, with those things out of the way, we get down to cost savings and whether it is worth whatever inconvenience may be involved.

What is Inconvenient about Bulk Hydrogen Peroxide?

If you buy a big drum of hydrogen peroxide:

• It will be delivered by a trucking company and you need to be home to receive it
• It is heavy!
• You will need a hand pump to get peroxide out of the drum (and you must take care not to spill it).
  
• You need to keep it someplace safe
• You need to learn about, deal with, and be responsible for the risks and precautions necessary with concentrated peroxide
  

What is Convenient about Bulk Hydrogen Peroxide?

Well, there's the other side of the coin: What is convenient about buying a large quantity?

• Once you have it, you don't have to buy any more for a long time!
• You'll have plenty to use for all the things you use it for.
• You may be more willing to use it for more things, because it is relatively much cheaper.

What Will Bulk Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Cost?

On this page "hydrogen peroxide prices" I estimated cost for different quantities of food grade hydrogen peroxide, with the following caveats:

• Hydrogen peroxide prices vary WILDLY
• These estimates are as of June , in the United States.
• These are estimates....
  

You can go look at that page, but here's what it says:

• A reasonable price for a gallon of 35% food grade peroxide is around $55 to $75, including shipping. (Probably more for an equivalent amount of 12% or 8%).
• 15 to 30 gallons of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide should cost more like $15 to $30 a gallon (including shipping).
  
• 300 gallons is more like $8 a gallon.

Most likely the price difference will be a big savings for you.

Let Me Know if You'd Like to Talk to a Supplier for Bulk Hydrogen Peroxide

I don't have a supplier with prices I can list here. Also the prices vary by location because delivery of bulk 35% peroxide requires a trucker who is licensed to handle hazardous material. The shipping cost is a hefty amount (yet overall it is still likely a big savings, after including the shipping fee). Anyway, the shipping cost will vary depending on where you are.

Since I don't yet have a streamlined way to send you to a source for bulk purchase, for now you can send me the form below and I'll see if I can get you in contact with a supplier.

Use this form if you are interested in purchasing 15 gallons or more.
