Broad-spectrum oxidizing biocide effective against bacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses, and spores. Acts through immediate cellular oxidation and degrades into water, oxygen, and acetic acid, leaving no harmful residues. Approved for direct food contact and organic production. Applications: CIP cleaning, equipment and surfaces, meat processing, fruits and vegetables, irrigation water, and cooling systems. Properties: pH 2.0–3.5 (1% solution), density 1.05–1.10 g/cc, CAS 79-21-0. Also known as PAA or peroxyacetic acid. Certified NSF, Kosher, and OMRI. Available from Monterrey, Mexico, with nationwide shipping.

USP iodine pearls, high-purity biocide. Solid pearls of elemental iodine with a minimum purity of 99.5%, used as a raw material in the formulation of iodophor products, antiseptic and industrial disinfectants, as well as a chemical intermediate. Highly effective due to its high content of active iodine, non-volatile, and with low impurity levels: max. chlorine/bromine 50 ppm, max. iron 10 ppm, sulfates up to 75 ppm, and heavy metals under 10 ppm. Properties: solid pearl appearance, stable at room temperature (25 °C), max. non-volatile residue 0.01%. Applications: formulation of sanitizing solutions, antiseptics, laboratory use, and in pharmaceutical, food, and veterinary industries. Other names: elemental iodine, resublimed iodine. CAS 7553-56-2. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Dxl, broad-spectrum chlorinated bactericide. Slightly amber translucent liquid with an active content of 9.75–10.25%. Highly soluble in water, stable, and low-foaming. Its formula allows it to penetrate even microporous surfaces, deactivating essential cellular functions in microorganisms. Odorless at appropriate doses. Applications: disinfection in vegetable processing (cucumber, tomato, squash, carrot), fruits, legumes, roots, industrial or recirculating water, as well as food facilities, utensils, molds, and egg processing. Properties: density 1.10–1.20 g/cm³, pH (1% sol.) 10.5–12.0, active content 9.75–10.25%, low foam. Also known as: chlorinated sanitizer. SAGARPA certified. Usage recommendations: 200 ppm for 30 min on stainless steel surfaces; 5–8 ppm for 12 hours for prolonged disinfection. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Anticel Peracetic Acid 5%. Translucent liquid, 100% water-soluble, with a minimum of 5% peracetic acid. Broad-spectrum oxidizing biocide effective against bacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses, and spores.
