Eka® HP - hydrogen peroxide
A versatile oxidation agent
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful yet environmentally friendly oxidizing agent that decomposes into oxygen and water. It is an essential ingredient in multiple applications, from the deepest mines to outer space.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used for bleaching of both mechanical and chemical pulps, supporting elemental chlorine free (ECF) bleaching, and as the main product in totally chlorine free (TCF) bleaching methods. Hydrogen peroxide is also used in other industries as a specialty oxidant. Other applications include mining, batteries, water treatment, cellulosic textiles, food packaging, and cleaning.
From production facilities in Norway, Sweden and the USA, we offer our customers stabilized aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions under the brand name Eka® HP. As a bulk supplier, we offer mainly concentrations of 35%, 50%, 59% and 70% delivered in ISO containers, railcars and tanker trucks. Product grades, concentrations, and delivery alternatives vary by market.
We offer hydrogen peroxide that is produced using an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution.
The most common method today for producing hydrogen peroxide is the anthraquinone auto-oxidation process. An anthraquinone solution continuously circulates in a closed loop and is the carrier for the controlled reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Thanks to our patented fixed-bed catalyst, we have improved the hydrogenation process, and avoid the need for a complicated filtration process. We achieve highly efficient use of raw materials and energy from this easy-to-operate process.
With the objective of reducing carbon footprint we have focused on reducing energy requirements for our production. Wherever possible, our manufacturing facilities obtain their energy from renewable sources. Additionally, in-place environmental and control systems minimize emissions to the atmosphere and water.
Featured applications where Eka® HP is used
We offer Eka® HP hydrogen peroxide – a strong oxidizing agent used to bleach both mechanical and chemical wood pulp – ECF and TCF processes.
Eka® HP-A is produced specifically for use in aseptic packaging; it is an effective product to sterilize the inside of packaging containers used for household products.
Eka® HP and Eka® SC are both used in extraction, leaching, separation, and purification for improving the end-product and the environmental impact.
Our Eka® HP plays an important role in mining and refining battery grade metals such as lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt; producing the cathode active material; and recycling these metals from used batteries to give them a second life.
The general effectiveness and harmless by-products of hydrogen peroxide has made it a natural solution for treating industrial and municipal wastewater.
In the global initiative to reduce textile waste, Eka® HP and Eka® SC can be used to decolor and brighten recycled cellulosic fibers to produce high quality textile fibers recirculated.
Eka® HP F is a high purity food grade suitable for use in applications with FDA Food Chemical Codex standard requirements. It can be used in aseptic packaging and food treatment applications such as decoloring flour, sugar and other products.
Eka® HP is an effective disinfectant used in the manufacture of chemicals and detergents, general and hard surface cleaners.
