Overview
Oxyper is a product brand associated with Solvay S.A., the Brussels-headquartered chemical company. The product is a coated and stabilised form of sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, more commonly known as sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate combines sodium carbonate with hydrogen peroxide in a crystalline, white, odorless powder. When dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide while also providing the alkaline properties associated with sodium carbonate. This combination gives Oxyper a role in oxygen-based cleaning and bleaching. Unlike chlorine-based bleaching systems, sodium percarbonate is used as an oxygen-releasing active ingredient and is supplied in a dry, relatively stable powder form. The coating and stabilisation described for Oxyper are intended to support product handling and storage by helping preserve the material's performance before it is mixed with water. In solution, the product can contribute both oxidising and alkaline cleaning action. The brand's application scope includes general cleaning and bleaching uses. It is also identified for cleaning beer kegs and beer lines, where the product can be used to remove organic residues and maintain hygienic equipment. These applications place Oxyper in the intersection of specialty chemicals, cleaning ingredients, and food-and-beverage equipment sanitation. The available reference material does not provide a founding date, individual founder, detailed product range, manufacturing locations, sales figures, or a current distribution footprint. Oxyper should be understood as a branded chemical product rather than as an independent consumer-goods corporation. Its corporate association is with Solvay S.A.; the available material does not establish whether Oxyper remains actively marketed under that name, whether its formulation or packaging has changed, or which markets currently sell it. Accordingly, the brand's present operating status and commercial reach require verification from current Solvay product documentation.
History
Oxyper is documented as a Solvay product brand for coated and stabilised sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, also called sodium percarbonate. The product belongs to a class of solid oxygen-releasing chemicals formed from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. In dry form, it is described as an odorless, crystalline white powder; when dissolved in water, it provides the basis for cleaning and bleaching action. The commercial rationale for the product is the combination of two functions in one material. Hydrogen peroxide supplies an oxidising component after dissolution, while sodium carbonate contributes alkalinity. This makes sodium percarbonate useful in formulations and cleaning processes where oxygen-based bleaching and alkaline soil removal are desired. Oxyper's coated and stabilised form is intended to improve the practical handling and storage characteristics of the powder compared with an unprotected reactive material. The documented applications include cleaning and bleaching generally, as well as beer-keg and beer-line cleaning. The latter use connects the product with maintenance and sanitation practices in beverage-service and brewing environments, where residues can accumulate inside reusable vessels and dispensing lines. The available historical material does not identify a launch year, inventor, specific formulation history, manufacturing site, or individual business unit responsible for the brand. The product was associated with Solvay S.A., whose headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium. Reference links listed with the article include Solvay information on sodium percarbonates, a product data sheet, and explanatory material comparing acidic and alkaline cleaning products. These references establish the product's chemical identity and stated use cases but do not by themselves confirm its current sales status. No reliable information is available in the supplied material on later reformulations, acquisitions, campaigns, controversies, executive involvement, or current market availability.

Cleaning and bleaching chemical
Oxyper sodium percarbonate
Oxyper is described as a coated and stabilised sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, or sodium percarbonate, supplied as an odorless, crystalline white powder. In water, it combines the alkaline contribution of sodium carbonate with the oxygen-releasing and oxidising action of hydrogen peroxide. The material is identified for cleaning and bleaching applications and for cleaning beer kegs and beer lines. The available sources do not specify a distinct consumer pack range, grades, concentration, or current formulation.
