Overview

Peracetic acid is an environmentally safe and versatile anti-microbial agent and a powerful antioxidant

Product description

Peracetic acid supplier and Exporter from INDIA.

A water like clear & colorless liquid.An aqueous equilibrium solution containing peracetic acid, Hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and special stabilizers. This product is considered environmentally safe since it decomposes to acetic acid and oxygen. Acetic acid is completely biodegradeable.
 

Peracetic acid is an environmentally safe and versatile anti-microbial agent and a powerful antioxidant. Peracetic Acid can be applied for the deactivation of a large variety of pathogenic microorganisms. It also deactivates viruses and spores. Peracetic Acid activity is hardly influenced by organic compounds that are present in the Water. Peracetic Acid is used mainly in the Food Industry, where it is applied as a cleanser and as a disinfectant. It is applied for bacteria and fungi removal. It was also used for the disinfection of recycled rinsing water for foodstuffs.
 
Peracetic acid is applied for the disinfection of medical supplies and to prevent bio film formation in pulp industries. It can be applied during water purification as a disinfectant and for Plumming Disinfection. Peracetic acid is suitable for cooling tower water disinfection; it effectively prevents bio film formation and controls Legionella bacteria. It’s an alternative for chlorine, sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide. It decomposes into biodegradable components and doesn’t create chlorinated compounds or harmful disinfection by-products.
 
Grades available: PAA 5%, 12%, 15% & 20% (customized concentration can also be explored).
 
Packing: In 30kg and 200kg polythene drums with vented type cap.

Details

Peracetic acid (peroxyacetic acid, PAA, CH3CO3H) is always sold as an equilibrium solution with hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and water, which keeps it stable. This product contains 5% peracetic acid. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a sharp, vinegar-like smell.

Where it is used: sanitising equipment in food processing, dairies, breweries and beverage plants; hard-surface disinfection in food premises and hospitals; and biofilm control in cooling towers. It breaks down to acetic acid and oxygen, so it leaves no chlorinated residue. Higher strengths are listed separately: 12%, 15%, 18%, 30% and 35%.

Handling: an oxidiser that causes severe burns. Store cool, out of the sun, in the original vented container, away from combustible and organic material, bases, reducing agents and metal chlorides. For straight peroxide see hydrogen peroxide 35%.

CAS number79-21-0
Strength5% peracetic acid, with hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid
Other namesPeroxyacetic acid, ethaneperoxoic acid, PAA

How is peracetic acid different from hydrogen peroxide?

The solution contains both. Peracetic acid is the more effective bleaching agent of the two, and its activity is little affected by organic matter in the water.

Can it be used on food-contact surfaces?

Yes, it is widely used on food-processing equipment and in dairies and breweries. Follow the dilution and contact time on the label and your local food-safety rules.

How do I check the strength in use?

Use peracetic acid test strips (0–160 ppm) for the working solution. The concentrate is assayed by titration with sodium thiosulphate.
