FAQs on Peracetic Acid

1. What is Peracetic Acid? Peracetic acid (PAA) is a highly effective disinfectant used in various industries, including healthcare, food processing, and water treatment. It is known for its ability to kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores rapidly, making it a popular choice for high-level disinfection and sterilization.

2. How does Peracetic Acid work? Peracetic acid acts as a potent oxidizing agent. When mixed with water, it releases free radicals that disrupt the cell walls of microorganisms, leading to their destruction. PAA remains effective even in the presence of organic matter, which is one of its advantages over other disinfectants.

3. What are the recommended uses for Peracetic Acid? PAA is commonly used for disinfecting medical devices, dental instruments, food processing equipment, and water systems. It can also be applied in agriculture and dairy industries. Due to its high efficacy at low concentrations, it’s suitable for sensitive equipment like rubber, glass, and certain metals but should not be used on nickel, aluminum, galvanized or chromed iron.

4. Is Peracetic Acid safe to use? Peracetic acid is safe when handled correctly, but it is a strong irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and masks should be worn when handling the powder or solution to avoid irritation. Moreover, PAA decomposes into harmless substances (acetic acid, oxygen, and water) after use, making it environmentally friendly.

5. What are the main advantages of Peracetic Acid over other disinfectants? PAA offers several advantages:

• Rapid action against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and spores.
• Effective at low concentrations and temperatures.
• Active in the presence of organic matter.
• Biodegradable, leaving no toxic residues after use.

6. How is Peracetic Acid prepared for use? To prepare a disinfectant solution, mix the powder with water. The concentration varies depending on the disinfection level needed:

• 0.5% solution for general cleaning and decontamination.
• 1% solution for primary disinfection.
• 2% solution for high-level disinfection and sterilization.

7. What materials is Peracetic Acid not compatible with? While PAA is safe for use on most materials like rubber, glass, and porcelain, it should not be used on nickel, aluminum, galvanized, or chromed iron due to its corrosive nature. Always verify compatibility with your equipment’s manufacturer.

8. How should I store Peracetic Acid? Store PAA in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. If stored properly, the unopened product has a shelf life of 36 months. Once mixed with water, the solution remains active for 8-12 hours.

9. Can Peracetic Acid be used in ultrasonic cleaning tanks? Yes, peracetic acid can be safely used in ultrasonic cleaning tanks as it does not cause corrosion, provided the materials being cleaned are compatible.
