Minncare Cold Sterilant is a peracetic acid solution
developed for use on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and
their associated distribution systems. Peracetic acid
formulations have been developed by Minntech Corporation
since 1976 and are currently being used in a wide variety
of applications. Mar Cor Purification is a world leader
in sterilants, disinfectants, and hollow fiber membrane
technology.
Superior Biocidal
Activity
Protect reverse osmosis membranes and their associated
distribution systems against short- and longterm bacterial
problems. Minncare Cold Sterilant is a powerful oxidant
that stops organism growth by oxidizing microbial cell
proteins and enzyme systems and effectively removes biofilms.
Minncare Cold Sterilant provides a 6 log reduction
of bacteria population at a 100X dilution (1%) within
a 36 minute soak time. Elimination of bacterial contamination
will help improve product quality and contribute to
increased RO membrane life.
Minncare Cold Sterilant may eliminate the need for
acid cleaning of fouled membranes prior to disinfection
in cases where transition metals, such as iron, are
not present.
Compatible with Thin Film Composite
Membranes
Minncare Cold Sterilant gently and completely cleans
membranes. Our peracetic acid formulations have been
successfully used at hundreds of locations on thin film
composite membranes and cellulose acetate membranes.
Many of the applications have included extended soak
times. Minncare Cold Sterilant will disinfect membranes
and protect against decreased flux that is commonly
associated with the use of formaldehyde.
No Toxic-Aldehyde Vapors
Minncare Cold Sterilant protects employees from exposure
to toxic aldehyde vapors. Although proper care must
be taken when handling concentrated Minncare Cold Sterilant,
in the use-dilution form, no exceptional handling procedures
are required.
Biodegradable and Ease of Disposal
Minncare Cold Sterilant is biodegradable and will decompose
into oxygen, water and acetic acid. It poses no threat
to municipal waste treatment plants.* Residual test
strips are available that accurately verify rinse-out
levels of Minncare Cold Sterilant as low as one part
per million.
* Spent Minncare Cold Sterilant is acidic and requires
normal neutralization as specified by your state and
local regulations. A 1% solution of Minncare Cold Sterilant
has a pH of 3.5.
