About Kandelium
Kandelium Group GmbH, headquartered in Bad Hönningen (Rhineland-Palatinate), manufactures barium carbonate (BaCO3), strontium carbonate (SrCO3), strontium nitrate and sodium percarbonate under the OXYPER® brand. The company is one of the major manufacturers of barium and strontium carbonate and supplies markets worldwide. The carbonates and nitrates serve as raw materials for, among other things, magnets, glass, displays, bricks, tiles, ceramics and electronic components, as well as for water treatment and the production of metals, chlorides, nitrates and oxides. Sodium percarbonate is used in detergents, cleaning and disinfecting agents, personal care products and water treatment, and can serve as an oxygen source in medical emergencies as well as in fish and shrimp farming. According to its own statements, Kandelium is the only manufacturer worldwide to refine sodium percarbonate by crystallisation rather than spray drying; all percarbonates are coated. In addition to production, the company offers chemical and technical audits of raw materials, processes and products as well as just-in-time delivery. Production sites are located in Escúzar (Spain) and García (Mexico).

Products and Processes
Barium carbonate
Raw material for, among other things, magnets, glass, bricks, tiles, ceramics and electronic components.
Strontium carbonate
Raw material for, among other things, glass, displays, ceramics and magnets.
Strontium nitrate
Used, among other things, in water treatment and in the production of metals, chlorides, nitrates and oxides.
Sodium percarbonate
Stable oxygen source for detergents, cleaning and disinfecting agents, water treatment, aquaculture and medical emergency care.
Crystallisation process
Refining of sodium percarbonate by crystallisation instead of the less energy-efficient spray drying process.
Coating of percarbonates
All percarbonates are coated, which supports safe use, storage and handling.
