Eka Chemicals is the largest producer of sodium chlorate worldwide and one of the largest suppliers of hydrogen peroxide to the pulp and paper industry.

The combination of sodium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide technologies makes Eka a unique supplier of bleaching chemistry to pulp bleaching plants.

Over the last few years, we have developed our product offers to include:

  • Eka SC - Sodium Chlorate 
    Delivered as crystals by truck or rail. Eka SC is converted to chlorine dioxide, which is used for ECF (Elementally Chlorine Free) bleaching of chemical pulp.
  • Eka HP - Hydrogen Peroxide
    Eka HP is delivered as a 19 %–70 % ready-to-use solution by truck
    or by rail. Eka HP is primarily used for bleaching of chemical pulp,
    mechanical pulp and recycled fiber. Eka HP can also be used for
    various special applications outside the pulp and paper industry.
  • Eka CIO2 - Chlorine dioxide 
    This concept is the most efficient method for large-scale
    conversion of Eka SC to chlorine dioxide. Eka Chemicals owns
    and operates the onsite generator. Eka SC, Eka HP or another
    reducing agent, together with sulphuric acid, are used as raw
    materials. Optimal operating conditions, highest safety standards
    and cost efficient operation are ensured via remote supervision or
    control of the onsite generator. Eka CLO2  generators can be supervised from one control room, around the clock, by highly skilled operators. This ensures the highest availability and makes it easy to implement process improvements.
  • Eka Purate® 
    Eka Purate is a patented concept for onsite small-scale generation
    of chlorine dioxide, up to 4 MT/day. Used for chemical pulp
    bleaching in special pulp grades or when some additional capacity
    is required in large scale operations.
