A CIP cycle at 2 AM tells you a lot about a food plant. The line has to be clean before the morning shift, and it has to be clean without leaving a residue that affects the next batch. This is where peracetic acid fits — it is an oxidative disinfectant that degrades into acetic acid, oxygen and water, which makes it a practical choice for food-contact surfaces and CIP systems. Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies Peracetic Acid (PAA) for CIP cleaning, food processing disinfection and water treatment in Sonipat's industrial belt. The range covers standard PAA grades, and the working conversation starts with your application, contact time and surface type, not a fixed product chart.
Chlorine is effective, cheap and widely used — but it has limits. It forms disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes in the presence of organic matter, which is a concern in food processing and some water treatment applications. It loses effectiveness at higher pH and at lower temperatures. And its residual can affect taste and odour in food-contact applications. PAA works differently. It is an oxidative disinfectant that degrades into acetic acid, oxygen and water, which means there is no persistent chlorinated residual. It holds up better across a wider pH and temperature range, and it is effective at lower temperatures than chlorine. This is why PAA is often preferred in food processing CIP, dairy sanitation and some water treatment applications — not because it is always better, but because the application fits its profile.
Grade selection depends on your application, target contact time and the surface or system being treated. We do not recommend a fixed grade for every application.
| Application | Typical PAA Concentration | Contact Time |
|---|---|---|
| CIP cleaning (food and dairy) | 0.1 – 0.5% active PAA | 5 – 15 minutes |
| Food-contact surface disinfection | 0.05 – 0.2% active PAA | 1 – 5 minutes |
| Beverage line sanitation | 0.1 – 0.3% active PAA | 5 – 10 minutes |
| Cooling tower microbial control | 2 – 10 ppm active PAA | Continuous or slug dosing |
| Wastewater disinfection | 5 – 20 ppm active PAA | 15 – 60 minutes |
| RO membrane biofouling control | 1 – 5 ppm active PAA | Continuous dosing |
The exact concentration and contact time depend on your application and the target microbial reduction. Final figures are confirmed after reviewing your process data.
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Active PAA | 5%, 10%, 15% (grade-dependent) |
| Hydrogen Peroxide (equilibrium) | 20 – 25% (grade-dependent) |
| Acetic Acid (equilibrium) | 8 – 15% (grade-dependent) |
| Appearance | Clear, colourless liquid |
| pH (as supplied) | 1 – 3 |
| Density | 1.10 – 1.15 g/cm³ |
| Shelf Life | 6 – 12 months from date of manufacture (unopened, cool storage) |
| Storage | Cool, ventilated area away from heat and incompatible chemicals |
Final specification is confirmed against the product TDS for each grade.
PAA dosing has three parameters — concentration, contact time and temperature. All three matter, and changing one usually needs adjustment in the others. As a working reference for Sonipat plants:
These are starting ranges. Final dosing is confirmed after reviewing your application and target microbial reduction. Our team works with your plant team on this.
A few questions that come up in almost every technical discussion:
We do not sell drums and walk away. For Sonipat plants — food processing, dairy, beverage and water treatment units — we review your application, walk through the grade selection with your team, and support the initial dosing and trial. If a CIP cycle is not giving the expected microbial reduction, call us — we will look at the concentration, contact time and temperature with you. TDS and MSDS are shared on request.
Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies Peracetic Acid (PAA) in standard grades (typically 5%, 10% and 15% active PAA) for CIP cleaning, food processing disinfection and water treatment in Sonipat. Grades are selected based on the application, contact time and the surface or system being treated.
Innovacorp supplies PAA for food processing disinfection in Sonipat. For food-contact applications, the specific grade and the required documentation depend on your HACCP or food safety protocol. We recommend sharing your protocol so we can advise on the suitable grade and documentation.
PAA is an oxidative disinfectant that degrades into acetic acid, oxygen and water. In some applications it is used where chlorine disinfection by-products (DBPs) are a concern, or where disinfection at lower temperatures is needed. The specific choice depends on the application and the water quality targets — we work from your process data before recommending a grade.
Yes. We supply in 5 L, 20 L and 50 L cans, and 200 L drums for larger consumers. For Sonipat units, we coordinate on delivery schedules based on consumption and share TDS and MSDS on request.
Tell us your application — CIP, surface disinfection, cooling tower or wastewater — and share your target microbial reduction and current process conditions. We will suggest the grade and the working dosing range for your plant. Call +91-9312871070.
