Peracetic Acid
Peracetic Acid
Peracetic Acid (PAA) is a powerful oxidizing and disinfecting agent, widely used across agriculture, food processing, water treatment, and industrial sanitation. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, vinegar-like odor, known for its rapid action against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores — even at low concentrations.
ChemMin’s Peracetic Acid is formulated to deliver high stability, consistent purity, and superior disinfection performance, making it an ideal eco-friendly alternative to chlorine-based sanitizers. It decomposes into non-toxic residues (acetic acid, oxygen, and water), ensuring zero harmful by-products in agricultural and environmental applications.

Usage Note
1)Dilution: Use at 0.1–0.5% solution for general disinfection.
For irrigation system sanitation, use 50–200 ppm depending on bio-load.
2)Contact Time: Typically 5–10 minutes for effective microbial kill.
Always dilute in clean water and apply through non-metallic (HDPE, PVC, or FRP) equipment.
Avoid mixing with alkalis, reducing agents, or other disinfectants.
Use freshly prepared solutions for best efficacy.
