The pulp and paper industry uses hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent and as a reducing agent in the production of chlorine dioxide. It is also a common bleaching agent used in the textile industry. Hydrogen peroxide is used in the manufacture of both inorganic and organic chemicals and for the surface treatment of metals. The gentle effectiveness and harmless by-products of hydrogen peroxide have made it a natural for environmental remediation applications and treating industrial and municipal wastewater. Its bactericidal properties make it useful in various water and food disinfection applications, as well. Hydrogen peroxide, under a strict marketing authorization is also used to treat parasites in Aquaculture.

Safety & Health
- Safety and Handling Information
Hydrogen peroxide is a very reactive oxidizing chemical and must be handled carefully. Solutions should be stored in their original containers until ready for use, and any material removed from its original container must not be returned to it. The pure material, as well as its aqueous solutions, is nonflammable. Equipment used to handle hydrogen peroxide must be made of compatible materials such as glass, stainless steel, aluminum or HDPE. Hydrogen peroxide must never be placed in a closed, unvented container or pipe.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging and Transport
Please refer to the current SDS for the latest transportation regulations for hydrogen peroxide. Eka HP is classified as hazardous goods and consequently transportation and packaging design must therefore adhere to all applicable transportation regulations. Bulk shipments of hydrogen peroxide are available in tank trucks or rail car quantities. Transportation may take place by road, railway or sea.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Please refer to the current SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for preventive protection and first aid response. Hydrogen peroxide is a very reactive oxidizing chemical and must be handled carefully. Solutions should be stored in their original containers until ready for use, and any material removed from its original container must not be returned to it. The pure material, as
well as its aqueous solutions, is nonflammable. Equipment used to handle hydrogen peroxide must be made of compatible materials such as glass, stainless steel, aluminum or HDPE. Hydrogen peroxide must never be placed in a closed, unvented container or pipe. Additional information on the handling of Eka HP is available in the Hydrogen Peroxide Product Information Manual that can be obtained from your Nouryon representative.- Mandatory Protective Equipment
Because hydrogen peroxide should never come in contact with organic materials like cloth and leather, it's imperative that workers handling the chemical always wear the appropriate protective clothing. Please check the SDS and PDS for your specific product for details.
