Which valve is best to throttle H2O2 at 4-500 psi?

Which valve is best to throttle H2O2 at 4-500 psi?

(OP)
Hello everyone,
What is the best way to manually control h202 under a pressure of 500 psi? This means "hand throttling" for example, using a motorcycle throttle (spring loaded) to control the flow of H2O2 through a valve? Does anyone know of a valve that could be used in this manner? Is there an off-the-shelf valve that can do this? The throttle valve should be lightweight and H2O2 compatible. Other characteristics should be: at 35% of initial stroke thrust requirement = 75%. Positive shotoff at the end of the of the stroke and low breakout and running friction to allow smooth throttling action. Anu suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For further clarfication...

The valve must be H2O2 compatiable, seal and rings and all. Positive shutoff at the end of the stroke, low breakout and running friction to allow smooth throttling action. The valve should be of a plunger, spool and body type.

Any ideas... I would appreciate them greatly. Thanks.

Could be a butterfly type  as well if a small bore is provided to empty  the dead volume of a ball back to the piping, otherwise high pressure could be released in that particular small dead volume in case of H2O2 decay.

I don't understand your post... can you please explain specifically what you are saying. The valve that has worked previously was a plunger, body style... but you could be right. Please tell me your thoughts...
