Comprehensive comparison of H₂O₂ Transfer Needle materials, corrosion resistance, and specifications by Manners Technology.
The H₂O₂ Transfer Needle (Hydrogen Peroxide Transfer Needle) is available in various specifications tailored to different equipment types, flow rates, and operating environments.
Key differences lie in the needle tube diameter, overall length, thread interface, and internal flow channel design.
Small-bore needles are used in precision dosing or laboratory-grade sterilization systems, emphasizing uniform flow and excellent sealing.
Large-bore needles are designed for industrial-scale H₂O₂ delivery, capable of handling higher flow rates and operating pressures.
The base typically features a hexagonal body with threaded interfaces, customizable in pitch and size according to standards such as M-series or UNF-series threads.
This allows secure integration with sterilizers, tubing systems, or reaction chambers.
For deep or directional injection, needle length and outlet position can be customized to match the device geometry, enabling precise H₂O₂ delivery and controlled diffusion.
Thanks to diversified specifications, the H₂O₂ Transfer Needle achieves seamless compatibility and consistent performance across both laboratory and industrial sterilization systems.
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a strong oxidizing agent that causes severe corrosion to ordinary metals, making material selection and surface protection crucial.
We use medical-grade 316L stainless steel as the core material.
Its molybdenum content enhances resistance against oxidation and corrosion. Even after long-term exposure to 30%–60% H₂O₂, the surface remains bright, smooth, and free from pitting—one key reason 316L is considered the industry standard.
After machining and welding, each needle undergoes:
Electropolishing – removes micro-residues and burrs, achieving a mirror-like finish.
Passivation – forms a stable oxide film to prevent secondary oxidation and improve durability.
In multiple corrosion tests, finished samples immersed in high-concentration H₂O₂ for 72 hours showed no pitting or degradation, confirming excellent reliability.
H₂O₂ Concentration Range | Typical Application | Material Behavior | Recommended Surface Treatment |
3%–10% | Medical cleaning, laboratory us | Stable surface | Standard passivation |
10%–35% | Common for plasma sterilizers | Excellent, long-term corrosion-free | Electropolishing + Passivation |
35%–60% | High-efficiency industrial systems | Requires flawless weld and surface finish | Advanced mirror electropolish |
>60% | Specialized research use | Recommend titanium or Inconel version | Mirror polish + Protective coating |
Under high concentration, even micro-porosity or minor surface defects can trigger corrosion.
Therefore, each weld zone undergoes airtightness and microscopic integrity testing to guarantee long-term structural stability.
| Material Type | H₂O₂ Corrosion Resistance | Mechanical Strength | Machinability | Cost | Overall Rating |
316L Stainless Steel (Standard) | ★★★★★ | ★★★★☆ | Excellent (CNC, laser-weldable) | ★★★ | High performance & cost-effective |
304 Stainless Steel | ★★★★ | ★★★★ | Excellent | ★★ | Suitable for low-concentration H₂O₂ |
Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | Moderate (difficult machining) | ★★★★★ | Ideal for high-concentration use |
Nickel-Based Alloy (Inconel Series) | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ | Good | ★★★★★ | Premium anti-corrosion solution |
Nickel-based alloys (Inconel Series) are high-performance materials composed primarily of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum.
They exhibit outstanding chemical stability and mechanical strength even under high-temperature and strong-oxidation environments.
In sterilization systems operating with high-concentration or high-temperature H₂O₂, Inconel 625 significantly extends lifespan and safety.
For high-concentration applications: Titanium or Inconel versions are recommended to extend service life.
For large-scale manufacturing: 316L stainless steel remains the best choice due to its stable welding performance and cost efficiency.
Surface optimization: Continue refining electropolishing and passivation techniques to strengthen the oxide film.
R&D direction: Explore composite coatings and micro-layer structures for enhanced corrosion resistance under complex conditions.
Whether used in medical sterilization systems or industrial chemical delivery, the core value of the H₂O₂ Transfer Needle lies in its high corrosion resistance, precision sealing, and long-term stability.
Through scientific specification design, advanced metal processing, and strict quality control, Manners Technology ensures every transfer needle performs reliably under different concentrations and environments — providing a safe, durable, and efficient hydrogen peroxide transfer solution for global users.
