A safer, easy to use and more cost-effective option for water treatment applications.
Clean Chemistry presents a safer, easy to use and more cost-effective microbial control solution for FDA processing aid applications and EPA registered pesticide applications.
What is PeroxyMAX?
- PeroxyMAX is an FDA approved (Food Contact Notification #2352) and USDA FSIS 7120.1 listed processing aid for meat, poultry, eggs, as well as for fruits and vegetables, grains, lactose and whey protein.
- PeroxyMAX is odorless and is non-volatile (does not produce noxious vapors).
- PeroxyMAX has greater purity than equilibrium peracetic acid (almost no residual hydrogen peroxide, no residual acetic acid and no HEDP stabilizer).
- Only a very small quantity (less than 1 Liter) of concentrated PeroxyMAX is held in the generator at any given time making it much safer to handle and use.
- PeroxyMAX is less corrosive than other oxidizing chemicals such as peracetic acid, chlorine dioxide and bleach.
- PeroxyMAX breaks down to readily biodegradable byproducts.
- PeroxyMAX contributes less BOD to wastewater than equilibrium PAA.
- PeroxyMAX is made in a closed generator system, so workers have no exposure to the concentrated chemistry.
What is BluOX?
- BluOX 17 and BluOX 35 are the EPA FIFRA-registered hydrogen peroxide products used to manufacture PeroxyMAX IBS for FIFRA-registered applications.
- PeroxyMAX IBS is registered for use in post-harvest fruit and vegetable water treatment as well as for agriculture irrigation water treatment and industrial water treatment applications.
- PeroxyMAX IBS is odorless and is non-volatile (does not produce noxious vapors).
- PeroxyMAX IBS is made in a closed generator system, so workers have no exposure to the concentrated chemistry.
- PeroxyMAX IBS is virtually odorless and does not produce noxious vapors.
Current EPA Registered Applications
Post-Harvest Water Treatment (fruit and vegetable processing): PeroxyMAX controls the growth of spoilage and decay-causing bacterial and fungal diseases on fruits and vegetables in post-harvest storage.
Irrigation Water Treatment (irrigation water lines, ponds, canals and reservoirs): PeroxyMAX controls sulfides, odor, slime and algae in irrigation water systems.
Industrial Cooling Water Treatment: PeroxyMAX is used in recirculating and non-recirculating water systems to control slime-forming bacteria.
Current FDA Approved Applications:
- Whole or cut meat and poultry, including parts, trim and organs (USDA FSIS 7120.1 Listed)
- Processed and preformed meat and poultry
- Fruit and vegetable processing
- Fish and seafood processing
- Tempering of wheat, corn and rice grains
- Washing shell eggs (USDA FSIS 7120.1 Listed)
- Washing, dip, rinse mist or chiller water for hard boiled, peeled eggs
- Production of whey protein concentrate
- Production of lactose
- Brines, sauces and marinades on cooked or uncooked whole or cut poultry parts or pieces
- Surface sauces and marinades on processed and preformed meat and poultry products
- Aseptic filling systems and glass and plastic food packaging and their closure
ChemDAQ Vapor Analysis Comparison
Vapor analysis of PeroxyMAX vs. 22% PAA
- Peracetic acid generates a large amount of measurable PAA in the air above treated water.
- Equivalent levels of PeroxyMAX yield significantly lower PAA measurements, near background.
- At up to 45,000* ppm PeroxyMAX, the TWA (ppm) remains below the ACGIH TLV-STEL value of 0.4 ppm.
*45,000 ppm is 22.5x higher than the 2000 ppm maximum limit for meat and poultry processing applications.
