The science of oxygenation is a quiet but powerful force, present in processes everywhere we look. As leading manufacturers and suppliers of hydrogen peroxide, our knowledge of oxygenation and oxidative chemistry is developed, backed and delivered by engineers, chemists, business people, and technicians with decades long accumulation of experience. A fundamental way to deliver oxygen, by organic peroxide, our peracetic acid is a liquid mix of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid (vinegar) that brings to food processing, beverage packaging, and environmental and water treatment, a clean, beautiful set of solutions.
Peracetic acid is a versatile oxidizing agent that dissolves easily in water and decomposes into non-toxic by-products. PeroxyChem is one of the largest North American producers of peracetic acid and has developed a wide offering of high quality products, ranging in concentration from 5% to 35% peracetic acid in equilibrium solution.
The different concentrations are used in chemical synthesis, bleaching, sanitization, disinfection and sterilization across a variety of industries, including food and beverage, environmental remediation, industrial cleaning and sanitization, and oil and gas production. Peracetic acid formulations are registered for use as a sanitizer, disinfectant and sterilant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and as an antimicrobial agent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Spectrum® is a chlorine-free antimicrobial agent approved for use at multiple intervention points, including on-line reprocessing (OLR), finishing chillers, chillers, parts, salvage, and other poultry processing waters. The product is a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly chemistry that breaks down to acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
Blitz is a peracetic acid-based antimicrobial agent for use in red meat applications. It can be applied directly to red meat carcasses, parts and organs to effectively reduce contamination of pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes as well as other bacteria that may result in product spoilage or decay.
Clarity® is a single component 15% peracetic acid microbial agent that is EPA-registered and FDA-approved for use as a beverage packaging sterilant. It can be used on food and beverage packaging materials including PET, HDPE and foil, closure systems, and filling equipment in low-acid aseptic, ESL and high-acid aseptic beverage packaging. Clarity has improved stability that allows for a longer shelf life and slower thermal degradation that results in lower usage. When used as directed, it can provide a cost effective solution for the sterilization of beverage packaging.
VigorOx® WWT II is a strong chemical disinfectant for use in wastewater treatment that can replace chlorine or UV disinfection. VigorOx WWT II, a peracetic acid-based formulation, is an equilibrium mixture of acetic acid (vinegar), hydrogen peroxide and water. The resulting solution contains a mix of 15% peracetic acid (PAA) and 23% hydrogen peroxide.
VigorOx® Oil & Gas is a peracetic acid-based biocide that is used for broad spectrum control of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, rapid kill of planktonic and sessile (biofilm) bacteria and clarification of frac water to help other chemistries perform better. It supports the responsible development of shale resources in the oil and gas industry and has been utilized in applications across geologic formations and geographies including: Marcellus, Permian, Fayetteville, Eagle Ford and Bakkens.
VigorOx® 15 F&V is a peracetic acid-based, chlorine-free microbial control agent for use in process waters that contact fruits and vegetables to reduce pathogenic bacteria, decay and spoilage organisms. Another use is sanitization and disinfection of hard surfaces and processing equipment to treat pathogens including Staphyloccus, E.coli, Salmonella and Listeria. The chemistry may also be used for treatment of agricultural and irrigation water systems to control sulfides, odor, slime and algae in sand filters, humidification systems, storage tanks, ponds, reservoirs, canals.
VigorOx® Citrus XA is a peracetic acid-based anti-microbial used predominantly for surface treatment to control the spread of citrus canker. Its applications include field equipment sanitization, fogging, final sanitizing bottle rinse, surface sanitization of conveyors, peelers, slicers and saws for fruits and vegetables, treatment of processing waters of fresh-cut, post-harvest or processed fruits and vegetables and treatment of raw, unprocessed fruit and vegetable surfaces.
VigorOx® SP-15 Antimicrobial Agent is a formulated peracetic acid-based solution that can be used for disinfection and sanitization in commercial, institutional and industrial laundry operations and in the disinfection of hard surfaces in general commercial environments. It is also used for biofouling and slime control in pulp and paper mill systems, recirculating process and cooling water systems, coating preservation and dispersed pigment preservation. VigorOx SP-15 Antimicrobial Agent is an easy to use chemistry that is EPA approved.
VigorOx® LS-15 is an EPA-registered single component peracetic acid-based microbial agent that is used for institutional and industrial sanitization and disinfection. It has applications for food contact surfaces and equipment, beverage plant equipment, in food processing and packing plants and at eating establishments.
VigorOx® Liquid Sanitizer and Disinfectant is a peracetic acid-based, chlorine-free EPA approved biocide that has applications in no-rinse hard surface disinfection in the food and beverage, pulp and paper, aseptic packaging and healthcare industries.
PerLoxi Plus is a peracetic acid-based solution that is used as a low temperature laundry bleacher and as a disinfectant.
BIOPER is a peracetic acid-based formulation that is used as a disinfectant in paper manufacturing and as a bactericide and fungicide in the food, environmental remediation and livestock industries.
Oxypure® BIO is a highly efficient, peracetic acid-based biocide used for disinfection in the food industry, animal houses, water installations and institutional and industrial cleaning. The product is effective at treating a broad range of microorganisms at a wide range of temperatures across a variety of industries.
Peracetic acid in concentrations are used in chemical synthesis, bleaching, sanitization, disinfection and sterilization. They dissolve easily in water and decompose into non-toxic byproducts.
