HIDE SMILES / InChI
Peracetic acid, also known as peroxyacetic acid, is an organic peroxide used an an antimicrobial agent. It is commonly utlized as a medical instrument and food industry disinfectant. Peracetic acid is also used in epoxidation of various alkenes, converting carbon–carbon double bonds into oxiranes. It is a strong oxidizing agent that can cause irritation to skin and respiratory tract.
