Hydrogen peroxide is also used as rocket fuel. In relatively pure form, it is rather powerful as an oxidant. You can actually use sugar for the combustant... It's also touchy as heck.

H2O2 is nasty stuff in concentrated form, but organic peroxides in general are nothing to monkey with. No wonder so many jihadis go 'boom' prematurely.
