PERCID
PERACETIC ACID - SANITIZER
DESCRIPTION
PERCID is an equilibrium mixture of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and water. PERCID was formulated to sanitize surfaces in contact with food, reservoirs, C.I.P. evaporators, fillers, aseptic equipment and pasteurisers found in dairies, wineries, breweries, and food, beverage and meat processing and packaging plants.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use PERCID on previously cleaned equipment. Allow a 0.3-0.4% (3 to 4 ml in 1 liter water) solution to circulate at 5-400C (40-1050F) and keep in contact for at least 60 seconds. Drain. Do not rinse with water (active ingredients break down into water, oxygen and vinegar). Leftover sanitizing solution that is clear and in good condition can be stored and regenerated with fresh PERCID .
BENEFITS
- Environmentally-friendly
- Broad spectrum control of microorganisms.
Non-corrosive to stainless steel. - Non-foaming formulation.
- Shelf life: 3 months (min.)
- Can be used in the acid cleaning operation and calibrated by conductivity.
