Frequently asked questions
What is Peroxyacetic or peracetic acid (PAA)?
Peroxyacetic acid, also called peracetic acid (C2H4O3), is a mixture of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in a watery solution. It is a bright, colorless liquid that has a piercing odor and a low pH value (2,8). Peracetic acid is produced by a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid:

CH3-C-OH + H2O2 -> CH3C-O-OH + H2O
