Peracetic acid

Peracetic acid is a strong disinfectant commonly used in healthcare, food processing, and water treatment. It effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi by destroying their cell walls. It is considered environmentally friendly because it breaks down into harmless substances—acetic acid (vinegar) and water—after use. Peracetic acid works quickly and is stable at room temperature, making it an efficient sanitizer. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a preferred choice for sterilizing equipment and surfaces where hygiene is critical.
