What is Peroxyacetic Acid?
Peroxyacetic acid (also known as peracetic acid or PAA) is an organic peroxide based, colorless liquid with a low pH and a strong, pungent, vinegar-like odor. In the concentrated form it is highly corrosive and unstable. PAA is formed from the reaction of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Commercial PAA products contain all three chemicals in an aqueous solution often with stabilizers added. The concentration of PAA as the active ingredient, as well as the mixture of the other ingredients, can vary widely.
PAA is used in food and beverage industries as well as hospitals, healthcare, and pharmaceutical facilities as an antimicrobial agent, surface cleaner and sanitizer. In many meat and poultry establishments is is used on carcasses, parts, trim, and organs to reduce bacterial contamination and food spoilage. It can be applied by a variety of methods including spray cabinet, dip tank, hand spray pump and chiller.
