PERACLEAN® 5 C is a disinfectant with a broad application spectrum, which is used in particular in the food and beverage industry. In the food industry disinfectants containing peracetic acid are part of the disinfection of installations, tanks, pipelines and equipment as well as for packaging material. The formulation of PERACLEAN® 5 C is optimized for conductivity controlled feed systems. The surfaces to be treated must be cleaned and rinsed as usual, followed by disinfection with PERACLEAN® 5 C, 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 the dedicated tanks. Feed control is realized by conductivity monitoring of the disinfectant solution, which specific resistance in much lower than that of pure water. After disinfection procedure the treated surfaces have to be rinsed with pure water to remove all residues. Use special test strips for qualitative determination of peracetic acid. PERACLEAN® 5 C decomposes into only water, oxygen and acetic acid after disinfection.
Disinfectant for the food and beverage industry
Peracetic acid has to be stored in original containers or tank farms in an ambient condition protected from the direct sun irradiation area. It is important to keep peracetic acid protected from all types of contamination and away from of combustible/ oxidizable materials. Containers should be stored unopened and in an upright position.
Canisters, drums (on request) or IBC-containers
When stored properly in the originally sealed HDPE packaging, the shelf life of the product is 12 months from the date of production.
