Subject: Peracetic acid material compatibility

Hello.

I'm evaluating the use of peracetic acid/H2O2 for surface disinfection. I have tried to search for material compatibility data without success. Can anyone point me to a reference please?

Thank you.

Hello,
Peracteic acid is normally used with a Steris System One machine. This machine is designed to be used as a "just in time" sterilizer. Peracetic acid is quite caustic if it is not roperly diluted. There are several ready mixed surface disinfectants that are available and a lot safer to handle. Those options would be a lot more cost effective and user friendly.
Good luck!
