Hi all,
I have a bucket of Purisan peracetic acid. The label says it is 5.25% peroxyacetic acid, 22% hydrogen peroxide, and 72.75% inert ingredients.
I wanted to make sure that what is generally advised is 100ppm of peroxyacetic acid, NOT 100ppm of peroxyacetic acid AND hydrogen peroxide.
Put it this way: Given my product's ingredients as outlined above, for my calculations, do I assume that I'm working with a 5.25% solution (or 52,500 ppm) to be diluted down to 100ppm, or is it a 27.25% solution (of peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide) that needs to be diluted down to 100ppm?
Other questions:
1) how dangerous is this stuff, after it's been diluted? Should eye protection and gloves be worn after it is diluted as well?
2) is 100pm sufficient for sanitizing a bright tank?
3) if the product is not rinsed afterward, is there not a threat of oxidizarion, and vinegar taints? I'm making cider, so I'm worried about both possibilities.
Thanks all!!
Mike
