Collaboration focuses on advanced chemical applications
The facility uses technology licensed from Evonik’s Active Oxygens business line and processes industrial-grade H₂O₂ supplied by Fuhua. The resulting specialty grades are intended for applications including solar cell production, semiconductor manufacturing, food packaging, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The plant has a planned annual production capacity of 20,000 tons.
Christian Kullmann, chairman of the Evonik Executive Board, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration, “Evonik’s leading position in the global specialty chemicals industry is built on innovation, strong technology platforms, and a global network. This project showcases our exemplary cooperation model with important partners like Fuhua: By combining Evonik’s technological strengths with Fuhua’s industrial chain and local capabilities, we will jointly provide high-quality solutions for customers in the region and globally.”
Dr. Claus Rettig, interim CFO of Evonik and President of Evonik Asia Pacific, added, “This facility will strengthen Evonik’s supply capability and service efficiency in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China. Through local cooperation, Evonik will be better positioned to meet the rapidly growing demand for high-purity specialty-grade hydrogen peroxide products, ensuring reliable and efficient support for our customers.”
Fuhua Chairman Zhang Hua underscored the significance of the collaboration, “This partnership with Evonik marks an important milestone in Fuhua’s development toward higher-end and more international operations. The project will further enhance Fuhua’s competitiveness and support national development priorities in new energy, advanced manufacturing, and future-oriented chemical production.”
Hydrogen peroxide is used across a range of industries, including electronics, renewable energy, and aseptic packaging. After use, it decomposes into water and oxygen, which is noted as a characteristic relevant to its environmental profile.
