Firstly, I have UTFSE and didn't really come up with much. I figure I already have the answer but it never hurts to get a second opinion.

While randomly searching around for new suppliers to add to my list I found a store which sells a product called 'Oxy bleach concentrate', its made by a company called Jasol (http://www.jasol.com.au/) and costs $55 for 5L. According to the MSDS (http://www.jasol.com.au/webfiles/JasolAU/webpages/images/30985/MSDSOxybleachConcentrate.pdf) its 50% hydrogen peroxide.

While the MSDS doesn't list any stabilizers I don't exactly trust it after a few bad experiences with other chemicals (diffrent manufactures). The only hydrogen peroxide I have ever used has been food grade 35% stuff, assuming it does have stabilizers would it affect anything that I may want to make? Not really concerned about loss in yields, more concerned about what it may do to stability of said products. From what I can gather the main stabilizer would be phosphoric acid.

Let me know what you think :)

A common stabilizer for Hydrogen Peroxide is Phosphoric Acid or Urea.

And no it will not effect the products you intend to make.
