PERACLEAN® 15 is an effective disinfectant with a broad application spectrum, characterized by excellent activity against bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, and viruses. It has been developed for the disinfection of equipment, instruments, and surfaces in the agricultural and food industries as well as in the wastewater treatment sector.
In the food industry, disinfectants containing peracetic acid are part of the disinfection of installations, tanks, pipelines and equipment as well as packaging material. The surfaces to be treated must be cleaned and rinsed as usual, followed by disinfection with PERACLEAN® 15, either by stagnant or circulated disinfection. Peracetic acid is commonly used in CIP or SIP installations (cleaning or sterilization in place). Cleaning or disinfection is done automatically following a fixed program. The cleaning agents and disinfectants are used several times and stored in their dedicated tanks. The control of the dosage is realized by frequent analysis of the peracetic acid content. After the disinfection procedure, the treated surfaces must be rinsed with pure water to remove all residues. Use special test strips for qualitative determination of peracetic acid.In the agricultural industry, PERACLEAN® 15 is used for disinfection in different areas of veterinary hygiene to ensure farm biosecurity.PERACLEAN® 15 decomposes into the biodegradable substances water, oxygen, and acetic acid after disinfection.
