Solutions by Application

Food & Beverage CIP Systems

PERSYNT® – Highly purified hydrogen peroxide with a low content of organic impurities, used as an active substance for the production of biocides and in food processing.
PERACLEAN® – Peracetic acid-based disinfectant for automated cleaning of food-contact surfaces and equipment. PERACLEAN® 5 is effective against bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi and viruses and is used in CIP and SIP installations in the food industry. After the disinfection procedure, the treated surfaces must be rinsed with pure water to remove all residues. The exposure time must always be correlated based on microbiological tests for the specific application and verified by corresponding control procedures.

CLARMARIN® – Hydrogen peroxide for effective cleaning of surfaces, such as walls and floors, in industrial and institutional settings.

Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
