Description

Barium peroxide (CAS 1304-29-6 ), also known as barium dioxide, is an inorganic oxidizing salt used industrially as a bleaching and biocidal agent. It releases active oxygen under controlled conditions, making it effective for whitening and disinfection. This chemical is utilized for various applications across several process industries. In textile and paper manufacturing, it functions as a bleaching agent for fibrous materials where consistent whitening without fiber degradation is a priority. Leather processors use it during preparatory stages to achieve uniform lightening of hides before dyeing or finishing. In water treatment, it acts as a biocide and oxidant to control microbial growth in industrial effluent streams. The compound is also used as an initiator in certain pyrotechnic and specialty chemical synthesis processes. It serves as a solid, stoichiometrically defined oxygen source required for specific chemical reactions and manufacturing needs. Barium peroxide is supplied as a white to off-white powder in technical grade. Standard packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited for industrial procurement volumes and large-scale manufacturing operations. Purity specifications typically fall in the 94–98% range for technical-grade material. Documentation such as COA and technical data sheets are available to support quality assurance review and regulatory compliance for industrial buyers.
