Hydrogen Peroxide
26. The properties of solutions of hydrogen peroxide are summarized in
The Dispensatory of the United States of America, 25th ed., Arthur Osol et
al., eds., 670 (1960) ("Dispensatory"): a copy of the article is attached to this
Decision and has been entered in the record of this application.
27. According to the Dispensatory, "Incompatibilities.—Hydrogen
peroxide is decomposed by reducing agents including most organic matter.
It reacts with oxidizing agents to liberate oxygen. Metals, metallic salts,
light, agitation and heat increase its decomposition." (Dispensatory at 671,
col. 1.)
