Peracetic acid; It is used in biocidal products as an effective agent on many microorganisms such as gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts, molds and algae. It has also been proven to be effective against aerobic and spore-forming bacteria.Peracetic acid is generally effective at low concentrations and short contact times. Activity of peracetic acid,
- pH
- Water hardness
- Presence of organic matter
not affected by such conditions. In these cases, they retain their biocidal activity.
Peracetic acid is widely used in areas such as industrial water cooling systems, paper making systems. It also prevents loss of efficiency by preventing microbial growth in cooling waters.
