BIOXY S
SOLID PERACETIC
ACID – SANITIZER
Unique to BioSaniTERRA - New
DESCRIPTION
BIOXY S is a powdered product that generates peracetic acid in water. BIOXY S was formulated to sanitize surfaces in contact with food, reservoirs, C.I.P. evaporators, fillers, aseptic equipment and pasteurisers found in dairies, wineries, breweries, and food, beverage and meat processing and packaging plants. Use BIOXY S to sanitize water reservoirs.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use BIOXY S on previously cleaned equipment. Use at a concentration of 0.2% (2 g BIOXY S in 1 liter of water ; or 20 g BIOXY S in 10 liters of water; or 200 g BIOXY S in 100 liters of water ). This concentration of 0.2% yields 200 ppm of active peracetic acid. Allow a 0.2% solution to circulate at 5-400C (40-1050F) and keep in contact for at least 60 seconds. Drain. Do not rinse with water (active ingredients break down into water, oxygen and vinegar). BIOXY S can be used from a concentration ranging from 0.2% up to 2%. BIOXY S at 2% (20 g/L) concentration is considered as a chemical sterilant.
