PERACETIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Peracetic acid is a highly reactive and powerful oxidizing agent with the chemical formula C2H4O3. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor, used primarily as a disinfectant and sterilant in healthcare, food processing, and water treatment industries. Peracetic acid is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is also employed in the bleaching of textiles and paper. Handling requires strict safety measures due to its corrosive nature and potential to cause respiratory and skin irritation. Proper storage and disposal are essential to ensure safety.
