1000L IBC for Peracetic Acid (PAA) up to 15%

Peracetic acid (PAA) 15% with the formula C₂H₄O₃ is a highly effective antimicrobial chemical, widely used in industries such as food processing, water treatment, and healthcare. Its ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi makes it a go-to solution for disinfection. The chemical is produced by combining acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, and at a 15% concentration, it provides fast-acting, reliable disinfection while breaking down into harmless by-products like water, oxygen, and acetic acid. However, handling Peracetic Acid 15% comes with serious risks due to its volatility and corrosive nature, making proper safety measures essential. That’s where the VARIBOX Full Containment and VARIBOX Compact Containment come to play.

1000L IBC Ácido Peracético

Un aspecto importante de trabajar con Ácido Peracético al 15% es que requiere una autorización especial. No se trata de una aprobación general para todos los productores, sino de una autorización caso por caso para cada proveedor específico de Recipientes Intermedios a Granel (IBC) de productos químicos. Esto garantiza que el ácido se almacena y transporta con recipientes que cumplen estrictas normas de seguridad. Esta aprobación especial actúa como garantía de que se han tomado todas las precauciones necesarias en los contenedores de productos químicos VARIBOX para proteger a los usuarios y al medio ambiente durante su manipulación, transporte y almacenamiento.

La seguridad ante todo

Cuando se trata de almacenar y transportar con seguridad Ácido Peracético 15%, la solución de envasado adecuada es vital. VARIBOX ofrece dos sistemas de contención clave -VARIBOX Contención Total y VARIBOX Contención Compacta- que están diseñados específicamente para productos químicos peligrosos como el Ácido Peracético. Estos sistemas proporcionan una solución de contención totalmente cerrada,
minimizando cualquier riesgo de contacto humano. Con su diseño de doble pared, ambos sistemas VARIBOX ayudan a garantizar que la manipulación y el transporte de sustancias químicas como el PAA sean lo más seguros posible.

Compliance with such regulations is not only about avoiding penalties; it also demonstrates a commitment to high safety standards, protecting both people and the environment from potential harm.

Use Viton for Peracetic Acid

Using Viton as a sealing material for Peroxyacetic acid storage in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) is crucial due to its exceptional chemical resistance properties. Peroxyacetic acid is a potent oxidizing agent known for its aggressive nature, especially in high concentrations. It can easily degrade or damage many materials, leading to leaks, which can be hazardous due to the compound’s corrosive and toxic nature. The most important numbers for this chemical substance are:

Fórmula C2H4O3
CAS number 64-19-7
Número ONU 3149 o 3109
ADR clase 8
ADR Embalaje Grupo II
