Peracetic acid, also known as peroxyacetic acid, is an organic compound that is used in the production of chemical disinfectants, biocides, and cosmetics. It works as a sustainable biocide for developing aseptic packaging for food products. It is utilized in the preparation of hair-bleaching chemicals. It is an organic fluid that is used for treating wastewater bodies and provides smart and sustainable aquaculture solutions. It is preferred as a chemical disinfectant and is used in developing agrochemical products. It helps in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness on application in textiles and fabrics and helps in sterilization operations in places like hospitals.

The market for Peracetic Acid is driven by its demand as a sustainable disinfecting fluid in different market sectors. Its major application as a cleansing and antimicrobial disinfectant in the preparation and development of packaging materials, along with chemical cleansers helps in driving its demand in the market. Its effectiveness in sterilizing and cleansing applications helps boost its usage in the production of disinfecting products. Favorable government regulations that include approvals for direct food contact use further improve its market demand. Also, its environmental benefits, like biodegradability and the absence of harmful residues, make it a desirable product. Overall, its usage in textile, fabrics, packaging, and agrochemical industries contributes to industrial Peracetic Acid procurement in the global market.

Raw Material for Peracetic Acid Production

According to the Peracetic Acid manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Peracetic Acid include Acetic Acid-Hydrogen Peroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Peracetic Acid

The extensive Peracetic Acid production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Acetic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide: The manufacturing process of Peracetic Acid consists of a peroxidation reaction. The process starts with a reaction between aqueous acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction assists the peroxidation of acetic acid, forming Peracetic Acid as the final product.

Peracetic Acid has a molecular formula of C4H6O3 and a molecular weight of 76.05 g/mol. It is a clear liquid with a strong, acrid, pungent odor. It behaves as a strong oxidizing agent with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Its melting and boiling point is measured at -2 °C and 105°C, respectively. It has a flash point of around 40.5 °C with an autoignition temperature of around 300 °C. It is a highly volatile, flammable chemical that decomposes at high temperatures and reacts vigorously with metals. Its density value ranges from 1.10 to 1.12 g/cm3 at 25 °C. It is miscible in water and highly soluble in solvents such as ether, sulfuric acid, and ethanol. The compound is highly corrosive and can easily corrode metals, including aluminium.
