PERACETIC ACID
Peracetic Acid is an oxidizing agent broadly used as a disinfectant against microbes like bacteria, fungi,
and viruses in food, breweries, wineries and medical industry, as a bleaching agent & slimicide in the
paper and textile industries, as a polymerization catalyst or co-catalyst in polymer industries,
epoxidation reagent for olefins and unsaturated compounds, etching circuit boards, in the synthesis of
other chemicals & as cooling tower water disinfectant (it effectively prevents bio-film formation and
controls Legionella bacteria).

ACURO's Peracetic Acid is sold under the brand name ACUROX. This class of oxidizing agent is
available up to 40% concentration. It disintegrates into a non-toxic and water soluble by-products.

It is frequently used for the synthesis of organic S-oxides in the pharmaceutical industry and in the
manufacture of cephalosporins antibiotics from penicillins. Also, it is used to manufacture other
chemicals and intermediates used in chemical industries.

PRECAUTIONS :
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation for concentrated chemicals. Always use appropriate
chemical resistant gloves to protect your hands and skin and wear eye protection such as chemical
goggles. Strictly avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not expose at high temperature. Store the product
in original containers in cool and dry place, away from sources of heat, flame and direct sunlight. Very
toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Please refer technical data sheet, label, and MSDS for
more details and shelf life.

SAFETY ASSESSMENT :
Eye contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention.
Skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
<pInhalation: Get fresh air. If difficulty in breathing or discomfort occurs, call a physician.

Ingestion: Drink one to two glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to
an unconscious individual. Call a physician immediately.
