Industrial hydrogen peroxide is used for bleaching of chemical pulp, mechanical pulp, and recycled pulp (de-inking). Use of industrial hydrogen peroxide in pulp & paper bleaching increases brightness levels, improves brightness stability, and reduces manufacturing cost, as it is the only one chemical that is required.
Pharmaceutical Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic used on the skin to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It may also be used as a mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation (such as due to canker/cold sores, gingivitis)
