Liquid Compound of Water and Oxygen
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the most versatile and environmentally friendly chemical compounds, is one of the cleanest chemicals, dissolving only in oxygen and water. This makes it, in diluted solution in water, the ecological alternative of classic chemicals for consumer use and is used in high concentration as green fuel for rockets.
Huge Range of Hydrogen Peroxide Qualities
As a leading manufacturer and supplier of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with more than 100 years of experience in peroxygen chemistry, Evonik Active Oxygens is able to offer high quality peroxides in a broad range of concentrations and purities in its production line.
The versatility of hydrogen peroxide uses is evidenced by the variety of oxidation potentials and pH ranges in which it can act as an oxidizer. In the acid pH range, for example, uncatalyzed hydrogen peroxide is a moderate oxidizing agent but when catalyzed with iron, it becomes a powerful oxidizing agent. In the alkaline pH range, peroxide hydrogen can compete with hypochlorite as an oxidizer.

Why Is Hydrogen Peroxide Sustainable?
Hydrogen peroxide is a completely natural, green product that is biodegradable and occurs in nature, for example in rainwater or snow and even in the human body. When it breaks down, it only produces water and oxygen. No environmentally harmful by-products are created. These environmentally friendly properties make it the oxidizing, disinfecting and bleaching agent of choice in times of increased environmental awareness when recycling materials, cleaning electronic components or cleaning wastewater.
