Decontamination

Combat germs with powerful oxidants that break down into only biodegradable substances

Evonik’s powerful hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solutions are optimal for decontamination in medical environments. 

Our products meet the highest standards, including EN ISO 13485 of the European Medical Devices Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC, for production of disinfectants and sterilants for rooms, surfaces, equipment, and devices. In the European Union, our products are registered as biocides in compliance with the E.U. Biocidal Product Regulation. 

What is more: After use, our oxidant chemistries break down into only biodegradable substances. Which means that unlike other disinfectant alternatives, Evonik’s hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid leave little to no chemical trace on the environment.

Why Choose Evonik for Decontamination?

  • Proven Performance: Trusted brands like OXTERIL®, PERACLEAN®, and PERSYNT® offer powerful, versatile solutions that meet the exacting requirements of the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

  • Sustainability at the Core: After their powerful oxidizing action, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid break down into only biodegradable substances, such as oxygen and water. Evonik also offers Low-Carbon-Footprint versions of these products to enable customer to reduce their Scope 3 emissions.

  • Tailored Solutions: Our products are specialized for your specific decontamination requirements — from sterile surfaces to complex water systems. They can be applied directly through wiping, bath, vapor, or spray, or combined with other substances such as ozone.

Ensure sterile environments and safe production with high-purity oxidizing agents

  • PERSYNT® – Pharmaceutical-grade hydrogen peroxide for medical device sterilization, cleanroom decontamination, and aseptic processing.
