Material comparison at 20 °C
Resistance overview
PETG shows excellent resistance to Hydrogen Peroxide across all 2 tested concentrations (3 %, 30 %) at 20 °C, making it a reliable choice for storage, transfer, and handling applications involving this chemical at any of the tested strengths. The rating remains stable between 20 °C and 50 °C, which means this material can also handle moderately elevated process temperatures without additional risk.
Application context
Hydrogen Peroxide is commonly encountered in waste treatment and pulp and paper. PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (co-polyester)) is a thermoplastic typically used for tanks, piping, containers and liners. Because Hydrogen Peroxide is classified as corrosive, the choice of containment material is especially critical to prevent leaks, equipment damage, and safety hazards.
Practical recommendation
No resistance data is available for PETG in contact with Hydrogen Peroxide. Before using this combination, consult the material manufacturer or conduct independent testing.
Did you know?
The ratings shown here apply to pure Hydrogen Peroxide in contact with the base thermoplastic. In real-world applications, additives, pigments, and fillers in the material can shift resistance in either direction.

About PETG
PETG is a co-polyester for clear containers. Strong acids and alkalis and most organic solvents attack it.
Rating scale
- A very good resistance
- B good resistance
- C limited resistance
- D not resistant
- – no data
- K no general statement possible
A rating marked * is an estimate in the source, not a test result. An estimate is given as one value without a temperature.
About this data
The ratings come from the chemical resistance list published by Bürkle GmbH, which compiled them from raw-material manufacturers’ data. They describe laboratory tests on the raw material at 20 °C and 50 °C.
A finished part also sees pressure, mechanical stress, welds and mixtures that a laboratory test does not. Treat the rating as a first filter and test under your own conditions before relying on it.
