Peracetic Acid (CH₃CO₃H)

Peracetic Acid (PAA) is a powerful oxidising disinfectant used extensively in water treatment, food processing, healthcare, and industrial sanitation. It is a fast-acting biocide effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, and breaks down into non-toxic by-products: acetic acid, oxygen, and water.

Product Variations
Peracetic Acid – 5% Solution
Peracetic Acid – 15% Solution
