Peracetic Acid is an equilibrium solution of two active ingredients—PeroxyAcetic Acid (CH3COOOH) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). This product has been formulated for use in the circulation cleaning and sanitizing of equipment such as tanks, pipelines, evaporators, filers, pasteurizes and aseptic equipment in dairies, wineries, breweries and beverage plants.
Benefits
- Excellent, non-foaming action at low concentrations
- Broad spectrum of sanitizing action
- Effective at low temperatures
- Non-corrosive to most food and beverage systems
