mwrosebury2000 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've just spilled some hydrogen peroxide on my track will this now need replacing? The hydrogen peroxide was 6% mixed 50/50 with water, the track is Hornby / peco. Thanks in advance. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Mark Peroxide is an aqueous oxidising agent not a solvent so is most likely to attack the rails not the plastic sleepers - what does the track look like? If visually OK then I wouldn't foresee any predictable long term damage - just clean the rails well before running any trains Kind regards Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwrosebury2000 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks for the very fast reply. The track looks ok. I will check it tomorrow and give it a good clean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerJohn Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 When they used to run a rocket powered dragster a few years ago the hydrogen peroxide that spurted out of the exhaust used to melt the tarmac! Had to scrub the startline with water after each run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted March 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2015 But that will have been close to 100% and not the 3% in this incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
