Peracetic Acid (PAA)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Peracetic Acid is a powerful Oxidizing Agent used primarily as a high-level disinfectant and sanitizer in industrial environments. It is available in various concentrations, typically as a 15% Food Grade or Technical Grade equilibrium solution.
The product offers a broad-spectrum biocidal profile, effectively eliminating bacteria, fungi, and viruses without leaving toxic residues. It is highly valued for its environmentally friendly decomposition into oxygen, water, and acetic acid.
This clear liquid is essential for aseptic packaging and “Clean-in-Place” (CIP) systems in the beverage industry. Its low-temperature activity makes it a preferred choice over thermal sterilization in sensitive industrial processes.
APPLICATIONS
- Food Processing: Sanitization of food contact surfaces and antimicrobial wash for produce and meat.
- Water Disinfection: Wastewater treatment and microbial control in cooling towers and pulp mills.
- Textile Bleaching: Used as a gentle bleaching agent in the processing of natural and synthetic fibers.
SAFETY & RISKS
