35% PEROX-AID®
INTRODUCTION
35% PEROX-AID® is a special formulated
hydrogen peroxide product and is the only
hydrogen peroxide product approved for use in
aquaculture (NADA #141-255). 35% PEROXAID® is intended for use as an external
microbiocide for the control of mortality in
freshwater-reared
finfish
eggs
due
to
saprolegniasis, in freshwater-reared salmonids
due to bacterial gill disease, and in freshwaterreared coolwater finfish and channel catfish due
to external columnaris disease. Refer to the
product label for details on directions for use
prior to treating finfish of any life stage, as
well as limitations and cautions for all uses.
35% PEROX-AID® has been granted designation
for its intended label uses by the Office of Minor
Use and Minor Species (MUMS) within FDA.
SAFETY AND HANDLING
NOTICE: Contact of all grades of hydrogen
peroxide with the eyes or mucous membranes
can result in burns or other serious health
effects and requires immediate medical
attention. Eye effects may be delayed for as
long as a week or more after exposure. Even
though no severe pain is noted, adhere to the
Safety and Handling Procedures outlined
below.
The active ingredient in 35% PEROX-AID® is
hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a very
reactive chemical and must be handled carefully.
Solutions should be stored in their original
containers until ready for use, and any material
removed from its original container must not be
returned to it. Personnel should wear rubber
gloves, eye and face protection, and suitable

protective clothing when handling this chemical.
Utensils used for handling hydrogen peroxide
must be made of compatible materials like glass,
stainless steel, aluminum or plastic. Hydrogen
peroxide must never be placed in a closed,
unvented container. Although hydrogen peroxide
is nonflammable, it can accelerate combustion if
allowed to contact other combustible or
flammable materials.
Any spilled hydrogen
peroxide should be immediately flooded and
washed away with liberal quantities of water.
Although neither hydrogen peroxide nor its
decomposition products, oxygen and water, are
systemic poisons, concentrated solutions irritate
the skin, mucous membrane tissue and the eyes.
If the chemical comes in contact with the skin, it
should be immediately and thoroughly washed off
with generous quantities of water for at least 15
minutes. If it contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly
and consult a physician promptly. If swallowed,
drink lots of water but do not encourage vomiting.
Call a physician immediately. Clothing must be
washed thoroughly with water should it come in
contact with hydrogen peroxide. If allowed to dry
in the fabric, the chemical may cause fire,
particularly if the clothing is soiled.
PROPERTIES
35% PEROX-AID® solutions are clear, colorless,
water-like in appearance and can be mixed with
water in any proportion. At high concentration, it
has a slightly pungent or acidic odor. Its active
ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, has a molecular
weight of 34.02 and the pure material as well as
its aqueous solutions are nonflammable. The
Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number for
hydrogen peroxide is 7722-84-1.
