How long is a decontamination cycle?

Our approach can deliver a LOG 6 reduction of the most resilient pathogens within a maximum time frame of 2 hours and 30 minutes, contingent on the space's size and the required level of cleanliness.

Is Peracetic Acid good for cleaning?

PAA exhibits remarkable oxidizing capabilities, surpassing both chlorine and chlorine dioxide in oxidation potential.

What are the practical uses of PAA?

Primarily employed within the food industry, peracetic acid serves as a potent cleanser and disinfectant.

Cleaning vs Disinfecting
