Solvay has a new peracid disinfectant called Perestane® . This is an equilibrium mixture of mixed acids and peracids, hydrogen peroxide, and water, together with stabilisers. Perestane® is a rapid acting oxidising biocide with a slightly fruity odour. It is particularly suitable for applications involving open handling. Perestane® is an effective biocide and can be formulated to provide the desired performance benefits in many uses. The formulations can be thickened, coloured and perfumed. Perestane® has minimal impact on the environment, decomposing after use to readily biodegradable species.
