TEXTILES
Hydrogen peroxide is the bleaching agent of choice for natural
cellulose and animal fibres. Cotton, wool and silk all benefit
from the high whiteness and low fibre damage of a Pasha
bleach, coupled with a minimum of effluent problems.
FOOD, COSMETIC and HEALTH
Current uses include aseptic packaging, food bleaching and
preservation, microbial control, hair products and pharmaceuticals.
WATER and EFFLUENT
Pasha is useful for swimming pool shock treatment, deodorising
and emergency river and lagoon restoration after effluent
spills.Many water applications benefit from advanced oxidation
technologies which combine hydrogen peroxide with ultraviolet
radiation, ozone or metal catalysts. These form powerful
hydroxyl radicals which effectively destroy taste and odour
molecules in drinking water, coloured dyes in textile effluents
and a wide variety of organic pollutants.
SAFETY and HANDLING
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidising agent.Active oxygen
is liberated very slowly from pure, stabilised hydrogen
peroxide but much more rapidly after gross contamination
with metals, organics or alkalis. These properties require
special precautions for safe handling and it is essential
that users are familiar with these precautions or avail
themselves of the services provided by Hidrojen Peroksit.
