When your operation demands scale, purity, and performance, BVV™ 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide delivers. Certified FCC (Food Chemical Codex), stabilizer-free, and available in a 55-gallon drum — this is the industrial-grade oxidizer trusted by commercial growers, food processors, and water treatment professionals who can't afford to compromise on quality.
Why BVV™ 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
BVV's food-grade H2O2 is clear, colorless, and completely free of stabilizers or additives — a critical distinction from industrial-grade alternatives that may contain harmful contaminants. At 35% concentration, it's 12x the strength of standard 3% hydrogen peroxide, meaning a single 55-gallon drum yields up to 634 gallons of ready-to-use 3% solution. That's exceptional value for high-volume operations.
Unlike lower-grade peroxides, BVV's formula is FCC certified and tested for purity, making it safe for direct food contact applications. Whether you're treating irrigation water, sanitizing food prep surfaces, or supporting plant health at scale, this is the product professionals reach for first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes food-grade hydrogen peroxide different from industrial-grade?
Food-grade H2O2 is manufactured without stabilizers or additives, making it safe for direct food contact. Industrial-grade versions often contain chemical stabilizers that are not safe for consumption or food processing environments.
Is this product safe to use in hydroponic systems?
Yes. When properly diluted, food-grade H2O2 is widely used in hydroponic irrigation to oxygenate root zones and eliminate harmful pathogens without leaving harmful residues.
How much 3% solution can I make from one 55-gallon drum?
One 55-gallon drum of 35% H2O2 yields approximately 634 gallons of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution when diluted at a 1:11 ratio with distilled water.
How should I store the 55-gallon drum?
Store in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable or organic materials. Keep the drum tightly sealed when not in use. Do not store near acids or combustible materials.
What safety equipment do I need when handling 35% H2O2?
