NPL is a pioneer in India for peroxygen chemicals and is the largest
manufacturer of Hydrogen Peroxide in India, with an installed capacity of
95,000 MTPA on 50% w/w. basis. It's fully integrated manufacturing site for
Hydogen Peroxide is located at Kalyan in Maharashtra (India).

Hydrogen Peroxide is a highly versatile chemical used in various industries for

Bleaching, Chemical synthesis, Environmental control/ Effluent treatment,
Sterilisation etc. The single most important constituent of Hydrogen Peroxide is
the “active oxygen” that it provides in the aforementioned end-uses. The “active
oxygen” is obtained by the controlled decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide,
with water as the by-product. Hence, whether it is bleaching, or chemical
synthesis, the use of Hydrogen Peroxide provides a very “clean” process
without the production of any harmful or environmentally unsafe products.

In India, Hydrogen Peroxide is manufactured to international standards by

National Peroxide Limited, using the auto-oxidation process, at its most modern
and up-to-date plant near Kalyan, Maharashtra.

NPL’s Hydrogen Peroxide is a concentrated aqueous solution containing 50%

Hydrogen Peroxide by weight and is commonly referred to as Hydrogen
Peroxide 50% w/w. It is specially stabilised for Indian climatic conditions. We
also produce Hydrogen Peroxide in 35%, 60% and 70% concentration.

The Company also produces the "Compressed Hydrogen Gas" and "Per Acetic

Acid".
