Where to buy Hydrogen Peroxide and Gylcerine?

[JordanEG6]

I'm looking for Hydrogen Peroxide in concentrations of 12-15% and vegetable glycerine.

So far, all I could find is 3% and food grade 35% H2O2, which is too low and too high respectively.

Anyone know where I can get these ingredients?

H2O2, dilute it. What are ya making?

[pheoxs]

35% peroxide mixed 1 part peroxide and 2 parts distilled water = 12%.

That is my last resort, but I'm sure they come in lower concentrations, I just don't know where to get it.

As for what I am making, I am making a "reverse oxidizer" to restore yellowed plastic/vinyl/rubber.

so you're using an oxidizer (H2O2) to make a "reverse oxidizer" or reducer? Sounds interesting

[Kloubek]

Why did I think from the initial sounds that you were creating an explosive? Apparently the fear the media has so intently tried to instill in me has taken hold...

Yeah it sounds weird, but the recipe I'm using has an adverse effect when you mix it with other stuff. Maybe I'll post results after I do it. I just need the ingredients.

I use hydrogen peroxide to take the yellow out of some of my Transformers. 3% will work fine, 6% works faster and can be found in a hair salon place. Throw everything into a glass jar, put in the h202 and throw it out in the sunlight. Or use a CFL bulb but that takes forever.

That is pretty damn cool

Good to see those chemistry classes you took in engineering aren't going to waste

But yea, what he said

+ 1 if you go to a salon distributor you can get either cream or liquid form 3%, 6%, 9%, or 12% (10, 20, 30, 40 vol respectively). cream form has more conditioning agents that protect more where the liquid is more harsh...but you need to know someone with a hairstyling license, or there might be some on ebay. that place has everything!

Found the glycerine today.

Do you actually need to a license to purchase it?

Not the 6% from what I read on the Transformers forums. I saw a lot of guys buying it.

I think that was more from common sense. All I remember from Chemistry class was trying to hit on the lab T.A's

if you go to a salon distributor you will need a license to purchase anything in the store because it is only for the beauty industry and the prices are at least half of anything you will find. everyone gets id'd!

What's the boiling point of the peroxide. Buy some and distill it

Someone has a nice old pair of nikes..

You are going to blow up your house if you try that trick. H2O2 in high concentrations is used as rocket fuel. It's extremely unstable and really not the type of thing you want to be "cooking" at home. This folks is how Darwin awards happen...
