Decomposition Catalysts
A catalyst that decomposes the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water is instrumental to any rocket. It doesn't matter how potent your fuel is if you don't have a good catalyst to decompose it! The reaction that you are looking for is of course:
2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2
yielding three moles of gas for every two moles of hydrogen peroxide, and a great deal of heat to help the reaction along as well.
We have two different catalysts for sale, both tried and tested. You can read more about designing your own catalyst package and rocket system here.
