Pera Cetic Acid

It is a bright, colorless liquid that has a piercing odor and a low pH value (2,8). Peracetic acid is used mainly in the food industry, where it is applied as a cleanser and as a disinfectant.Nowadays peracetic acid is applied for the disinfection of medical supplies and to prevent bio film formation in pulp industries.
It can be applied during water purification as a disinfectant and for plumming disinfection.Peracetic acid is suitable for cooling tower water disinfection; it effectively prevents bio film formation and controls Legionella bacteria.Peracetic acid as a disinfectant oxidizes the outer cell membranes of microorganisms. The oxidation mechanism consists of electron transfer. When a stronger oxidant is used, the electrons are transferred to the microorganism much faster, causing the microorganism to be deactivated rapidly.
