"This investment in the Coronel plant reflects Peróxidos’ continuous and long-term commitment to bringing more innovative, sustainable and competitive solutions to the South American market and our mission to remain the preferred partner for our customers," comments Guilherme Silva, CEO of Peróxidos do Brasil.

Given its versatility and oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an essential input for a wide range of markets, such as the pulp and paper, aquaculture, electronics, packaging and mining sectors. It stands out as an inherently sustainable product due to its molecular structure and environmentally compatible decomposition. When it breaks down, it forms water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) elements that naturally reintegrate the environment without generating residues or byproducts.
