Peracetic Acid

Our UK-based, UK-produced peracetic acid is an environmentally-friendly biocide and disinfectant with industrial applications in clean-in-place (CIP), food processing, water treatment, agriculture, healthcare and more.

Overview

Peracetic acid is a fast-acting, fully-biodegradable biocide, sanitiser and antimicrobial. It destroys pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, spores and fungi through oxidisation.

PAA breaks down into ecologically harmless components – water, oxygen and acetic acid – making it a popular environmentally-friendly alternative disinfectant. It does not produce any disinfection byproducts (DBPs).
