| PEROXYGENS | ||
 |
||
| Peroxygens are a family of products comprising hydrogen peroxide (HP), sodium perborate (SPB) and peracids. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent used mainly for bleaching of pulp and of de-inked recycled paper. Another application is in the manufacture of other chemicals such as sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate and peracetic acid. Other uses include industrial applications (textile bleaching and disinfectant in aseptic packaging) and personal and domestic applications (hair bleaching, wound disinfection and eye contact lenses). Sodium perborate is a key ingredient in detergents for textile garments and for dish cleaning. As a bleaching agent, it removes stains and has sanitizing properties. Peracids are used as disinfectants and intermediates for chemical synthesis. | ||
