Introducing Hydrogen Peroxide

Introducing Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)

Hansol Chemical’s H2O2 is a transparent chemical compound with strong oxidizing properties. It is used in bleaching pulp for paper, dying textiles, treating waste water, and even has uses in pharmaceuticals.
In the high tech field H2O2 is used as an etchant for LCD/PCB panels and circuit boards and as a ultra nano cleaning agent for semiconductor wafers.
Hydrogen Peroxide is recognized worldwide as an Eco-friendly product and is continually developing new uses in many environmental fields.
As Korea’s No.1 Hydrogen Peroxide manufacturer, Hansol Chemical is the national standard for excellence in service, technical ability and customer satisfaction.


The Science of Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide is a odorless, colorless, transparent and acidic liquid compound. Alone it is chemically stable, but when mixed with metal or other organic materials a chemical reaction occurs leaving behind decomposed residue of water and oxygen.
Depending on the environment and force of the reaction, unintended mixtures can be explosive but since water and oxygen are the results of any reaction there is no concern for secondary pollution or hazard.

Manufacturing

Hydrogen Peroxide is made from a reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Sounds simple enough?
Here is an example of the process chain that results in our final product.

(HydrogenationOxidationExtractionConcentration)

>>Hydrogenation
Hydrogen is collected in a chamber and mixed with a solution called Anthraquinone (AQ) which acts as a catalyst to create Hydroquinone (HQ).

>>Oxidation
The newly made hydroquinone is mixed with oxygen and the chemical reaction creates two bi-products. Hydrogen Peroxide and Anthraquinone. H2O2 is pumped into the extraction chamber and the AQ is collected and recycled back for reuse in the hydrogenation process.

>>Extraction
Water is injected into the fresh Hydrogen Peroxide and the raw batch is produced.

>>Concentration
Here the final touches are made to create the specific concentration and grade of H2O2 tailored to fit each customers’ needs.

The combined process, called auto-oxidation, is just one part of Hansol’s technical expertise that has enabled it to be the nation’s #1 manufacturer of hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen Peroxide Product Category and Applications

Hydrogen peroxide is applied to various fields depending on the level of concentration. Hansol Chemical is continuously developing new formulas that can be applied to new markets that have never been applied using H2O2.
