Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

is mainly used by the paper industry to bleach pulp.

Its properties are also of interest to many markets like

chemicals, food, textiles and the environment.

The world leader in this technology,

Peroxides develops innovative applications and processes

for these market segments. Its business is benefiting

from the high consumption of paper pulp and

from worldwide demand for high-added-value specialty derivatives.

Innovation capacity and agility are two of GBU Peroxides’ strengths.

Thus, to meet the expectations of its customers

in more remote areas (including South America),

it rolled out in 2013 a new concept of

mini-plants

to be located at customers’ manufacturing plants.

Growing industrial demand for propylene oxide*

is another growth driver: the GBU is leveraging here

its unique expertise in building

mega plants

producing H2O2 as feedstock for propylene oxide

in the framework of HPPO

(Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide) partnerships.
