The Company manufactures hydrogen peroxide, which is a simple peroxide with an oxygen-oxygen single bond, which exists in the form of a clear, pale, blue liquid with an odour similar to nitric acid. It can act both as an oxidizing agent and reducing agent and undergoes thermal decomposition when exposed to sun high temperature. The manufacturing facility is located in Kalyan, Maharashtra, which ensures the production of high-quality hydrogen peroxide. This is achieved through the application of the auto-oxidation technique, a recognized industry standard. Hydrogen peroxide is available in majorly two categories: technical grade, and food grade, with varying concentrations depending upon the application.
