Usage

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) has been used in a wide range of fields as an environmentally friendly oxidant in various industries. It is used mainly for bleaching textiles and wood pulp, and also widely used for soil remediation and wastewater disposal due to eco-friendliness. In particular, high purity Hydrogen peroxide is used for etching and cleaning purposes in industries such as semiconductors, displays and solar energy.

Production Process

Hydrogen peroxide is produced by hydrogenation, oxidation and extraction processes. OCI produces Hydrogen peroxide of various purity by controlling processes of concentration and dilution.
