Divosan Activ VT5 25kg

Disinfectant based on 5% peracetic acid
Description
Divosan Activ is a highly effective oxidising disinfectant based on peracetic acid for use
in the food, beverage and dairy industries.
Key properties
• Divosan Activ is a stabilised peracetic acid solution (5%) which is non-foaming and
completely free-rinsing. It is a highly effective disinfectant against all types of microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, spores and viruses.
• Divosan Activ is specifically formulated as a terminal disinfectant for use in
automated CIP systems. It also has excellent deodorising and stain removal
properties.
• Divosan Activ is recommended for automatic injection using suitable CIP dosing
equipment.
• Divosan Activ is suitable for Open Plant Cleaning application like soak or spray
application.
Benefits
• Versatile and effective CIP disinfectant, can be used in breweries, dairies, soft drinks
plants and throughout the processed food industry.
• Powerful oxidising action also assists stain removal and deodorises.
• Free-rinsing and non-tainting ensures safe for all food applications.
• Low environmental impact, breaks down to materials that are innocuous for waste
water treatment.
• Suitable for use in soft or hard water.
Use instructions
Use Divosan Activ at concentrations between 0.1-4% w/w (0.09-3.6% v/v) depending
on CIP application.
Use Divosan Activ at concentrations between 0.3-0.6% w/w (0.27-0.57% v/v) for
spraying on open surfaces.
For washing of fruits and vegetables we advise to use our product DiverContact
P5 that has been developed for direct food contact application.
Always rinse thoroughly after use. For specific details, please refer to individual method
cards.

Safe handling and storage information
Store in original closed containers or (where applicable) in approved bulk tank, away from sunlight and extremes of temperature. Full
guidance on the handling and disposal of this product is provided in a separate Safety Data Sheet.
Product compatibility
Divosan Activ when applied at the recommended concentration and temperature is suitable for use on the grades of stainless steel
commonly found in the processed food industry. It is unsuitable for use on cuprous materials and on soft metals such as aluminium.
Always rinse surfaces after use (within 1 hour).
Test method
Reagents:
0.1 N Potassium permanganate
0.1 N Sodium thiosulphate
Potassium iodide (10%)
Sulphuric acid (25%)
Procedure:
If the sample which contains peracetic acid is warm, put it in an ice bath to cool down until room temperature (20°C).
For more accurate results and repeatability cooling the test solutions to 4-8°C will help. Higher temperatures of the sample can lead to an
error in the peracetic acid determination.
Add 5ml of sulphuric acid solution to 50ml of test solution. Titrate with the potassium permanganate solution until a faint pink colour
persists (add the titrant quickly at the beginning and slowly towards the end of titration). Then add 10ml potassium iodide solution (the
solution turns into the orange-brown colour) and titrate with sodium thiosulphate until colourless.
Calculation:
w/w Divosan Activ = titre (ml) x 0.15

ppm peracetic acid (PAA) = titre (ml) x 76
