FMC was very picky about who they sold product to. In 2003 they
thoroughly checked out and scrutinized our facility at Mojave before
shipping the first 30 gallon drum of >98% HTP. Additionally they required a
$5K deposit of the drum. In the old days the drag guys would keep the drums
causing an industry wide drum shortage. When we failed to win the Phase 3
SBIR FMC allowed us to return the 2nd unopened drum for credit.

FMC sold their peroxide operation to Peroxychem; we were able to buy a
batch of nominally 98% from them back in 2018-2019. Tested out at 97%
when we got it IIRC, somewhat less than that in 2022 when we actually
launched. But Aerospace Corporation has a government contract and a
reputation for safety, so I don't know whether they'd be willing to sell
to amateurs, small businesses, etc.

are both doing peroxide for in-space propulsion. I don't think either
test at FAR, but there does seem to still be a supply chain for it. I
haven't asked if FMC ever got around to making another batch, the
peroxide I used back in the day was nominally 90% that was closer to
85% because it had sat around for so many years.

This looks like a recent video, so maybe Ventura is doing something
takes effort to produce, so somebody is deliberately making it.
I was just curious. This looks like high percentage peroxide which IIRC
