Peracetic Acid is an oxidizing agent broadly used as a disinfectant against microbes like bacteria, fungi, and viruses in food, breweries, wineries and medical industry, as a bleaching agent & slimicide in the paper and textile industries, as a polymerization catalyst or co-catalyst in polymer industries, epoxidation reagent for olefins and unsaturated compounds, etching circuit boards, in the synthesis of other chemicals & as cooling tower water disinfectant (it effectively prevents bio-film formation and controls Legionella bacteria).

Indian Chemical’s Peracetic Acid is sold under the brand name Indian Chemicals. This class of oxidizing agent is available up to 40% concentration. It disintegrates into a non-toxic and water soluble by-products.

It is frequently used for the synthesis of organic S-oxides in the pharmaceutical industry and in the manufacture of cephalosporins antibiotics from penicillins. Also, it is used to manufacture other chemicals and intermediates used in chemical industries.

FEATURES OF PERACETIC ACID :

• Food (particularly sugar) and pharmaceutical processing and packaging plants.
• Disinfectant for equipments like pipelines, tanks, vats, filters, evaporators, pasteurizers etc.
• Disinfection of water, tools, equipment, boxes etc for aquatic plants & animals.
• Limiting the contamination in water bodies & inhibiting losses in plant/food production.
• RO/UF/NF membrane and ballast water (water carried in ship’s ballast tanks to improve its stability) disinfectant.
• Disinfection of surfaces (tables, floors, walls, tools, appliances) in contact with food/feed.
• Cooling tower water disinfectant & polymerization catalyst.
• Disinfectant in Medical industries (especially hemodialysis apparatus & capillary dialyzer) and effluent treatment plant.
• Milk and dairy products processing and packaging plants.
• Seafood and produce processing and packaging plants.
• Synthesizing other chemicals and intermediates.

PRECAUTIONS :

Make sure that there is adequate ventilation for concentrated chemicals. Always use appropriate chemical resistant gloves to protect your hands and skin and wear eye protection such as chemical goggles. Strictly avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not expose at high temperature. Store the product in original containers in cool and dry place, away from sources of heat, flame and direct sunlight. Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Please refer technical data sheet, label, and MSDS for more details and shelf life.

SAFETY ASSESSMENT :

Eye contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.

Skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.

Inhalation: Get fresh air. If difficulty in breathing or discomfort occurs, call a physician.
