Food Contact Surface Directions for Mixing:
Manually or
mechanically blend no more than 1-6.1 fl. oz. of this product
and 6-12 fl. oz. of PERAFOAM™ (foam additive) per 6 gallons
of water. The dilution water must not exceed 150° F. Higher
concentrations of this product and/or PERAFOAM™ may be
used on food contact surfaces, but a potable water rinse is
required. When used in organic production, a potable water
rinse is required.
Non-Food Contact Surface Directions for Mixing:
Manually
or mechanically blend 1-12 fl. oz. of this product and 6-36 fl. oz.
of PERAFOAM™ (foam additive) per 6 gallons of water. The
dilution water must not exceed 150° F. When used in organic
production, a potable water rinse is required. Note: When
using a foam additive, PERAFOAM™ is the only approved
product that may be used.
Drain Cleaning and Sanitizing:
For use in open or closed
drains such as in food, beverage, dairy, pharma and health
care industries. Manually or mechanically blend 4-12 fl. oz. of
this product with 1-12 fl. oz. of PERAFOAM™ (foam additive)
per gallon of water and foam surfaces thoroughly using
conventional foam-generating equipment. The dilution water
must not exceed 150° F. Allow product to contact the surface
for at least 10 minutes or more. A water rinse is optional. When
used in organic production, a potable water rinse is required.
Entryway Sanitizing Systems:
To help prevent cross-
contamination from treated area to treated area, apply (spray)
a sanitizing foam to the entryway. The foam must cover the
entire path of the doorway. For effective coverage of footwear
and forklift tires, etc., apply a foam layer 0.5-2 inches in depth.
Set the system to deliver 1-6.1 fl. oz. (82-500 ppm active PAA)
of this product and 3-12 fl. oz. of PERAFOAM™ (foam additive)
per 6 gallons of water. Adjust the PAA concentration by
testing the collapsed foam solution using a peroxyacetic acid
test kit. Note: When using a foam additive, PERAFOAM™ is
the only approved product that may be used.
NON FOOD CONTACT HARD SURFACE DISINFECTION
Combination Disinfection and Cleaning:
This product may
clean as it disinfects when used according to the appropriate
disinfection directions shown below. This product can be
used to disinfect floors, walls and other hard nonporous
surfaces such as tables, chairs, countertops, bathroom
fixtures, sinks, bed frames, shelves, racks, carts, refrigerators,
coolers, tile, linoleum, vinyl, glazed porcelain, and use sites on
this label made of plastic, stainless steel, or glass.
For areas of use in hospitals, use this product for surgical and
obstetrical suites, housekeeping services, physical therapy
departments, nursing services, autopsy facilities. Also use
this product in nursing homes, other health-care facilities,
schools, colleges, veterinary clinics, animal life science
laboratories, industrial facilities, dietary areas, office buildings,
recreational facilities, retail and wholesale establishments.
This product is effective against Staphylococcus aureus,
Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Trichophyton
mentagrophytes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 at 0.38%-3%
v/v (2.5-20 oz. per 5 gal) in hard water (400 ppm as CaCO3)
and 5% organic soil loading on hard nonporous surfaces. For
visibly soiled areas a pre-cleaning step is required, followed
by a potable water rinse. Apply solution with a mop, cloth,
sponge, brush, spray etc… or by soaking or immersion so as
to wet all surfaces thoroughly. Allow to remain visibly wet for
10 minutes, then remove solution and entrapped soil with
a clean wet mop, cloth, wet vacuum pickup, or by draining.
Surfaces that may directly or indirectly contact food must be
rinsed with potable water before operations resume. A rinse
for non-food contact surfaces is optional. Prepare a fresh
solution daily or when it becomes soiled or diluted.
CONTROL OF SLIME FORMING BACTERIA IN
RECIRCULATING AND COOLING WATER SYSTEMS
(COOLING TOWERS, EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS,
PASTEURIZERS AND AIR WASHERS)
Severely fouled systems must be cleaned before adding
this product. This product must be added in the system
directly and not mixed with any other chemicals or additives.
Discontinue the use of chlorine or bromine products prior
to using this product. Contamination with other chemicals
could result in product decomposition. Add this product
at a point in the system where uniform mixing and even
distribution will occur.
For slug treatment add 20 oz. of product per 1000
gallons of process water. Repeat as necessary until
microbiological control is evident.
Thereafter, to maintain control, use 0.3 to 1.5 lbs. (4.0-17.5 fl. oz.)
of this product per 1000 gallons of process water (2-9 ppm
active peroxyacetic acid) as a continuous or intermittent slug
treatment. Continuous dosing methods usually require 2-5
ppm active peroxyacetic acid (4.0-10.2 fl. oz. per 1000 gal of
process water) to achieve adequate control.
CLEANING:
To remove sessile bacteria from cooling systems
it is necessary to clean slime and slime-forming bacteria
from the surfaces of all areas of water contact. This can be
accomplished by treating the recycled water with 7.5-22.4 lbs.
(102-306 fl oz.) of this product per 1000 gal of water (50-150
ppm active peroxyacetic acid) for 4-8 hours during normal
tower operating cycles. This procedure can be used for online
or offline cleaning.
When finished bleed down the system until the PAA level
is <5-10 ppm, then normal chlorine or bromine or PAA
treatments can begin. This treatment must be done at least
once or twice each year depending on exposure conditions.
