Established Use as a Chemical Decontaminant Together with its Use as a Chlorine Free Bleaching Agent in Paper Production Amidst Stable Outlook for the Paper Products Industry Sustains Consumption of Hydrogen Peroxide
Growing demand for powerful and environmental friendly chemical decontamination solutions with excellent disinfectant and antiseptic properties, and stable paper production where the chemical is used as a total chlorine free (TCF) bleaching agent are poised to drive the global market for Hydrogen Peroxide to reach 6.0 million metric tons by 2024 . The Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) market globally continues to exhibit healthy growth driven by the perennial significance of paper in industries, commercial establishments, and homes, where the chemical is used in pulp bleaching and deinking of recycled paper. Paper & pulp production continues to remain the largest end-use market for H2O2. In pulp bleaching, H2O2 is used as a versatile bleaching agent in chemical pulp bleaching and mechanical pulp bleaching. The application of hydrogen peroxide in paper production enables top brightness levels with better brightness stability, optimized economy through savings in the total chemicals ...
