25 Mar 2016 Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (AHP®) versus Potassium Peroxymonosulfate
Unlike Potassium Peroxymonosulfate, AHP® is non-toxic or non-irritating at the in-use dilution protecting users from adverse health effects. AHP® offers a greater spectrum of efficacy against pathogens of concern in realistic contact times, ideal for environments that require quick turnover.
AHP® removes the need to compromise between efficacy and safety by providing a balance between killing a broad spectrum of pathogens while remaining gentle for users, animals, materials and the environment.
- AHP® is essentially non-toxic and non-irritating (in use solution) and does not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), giving assurance that animal and human health will not be jeopardized.
- AHP® provides contact times that are two times faster providing confidence that disinfection has been achieved.
- AHP® is biodegradable. Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen reducing environmental impact.
KEY PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:
Unlike Potassium Peroxymonosulfate, AHP® is non-toxic or non-irritating at the in-use dilution protecting users from adverse health effects. AHP® offers a greater spectrum of efficacy against pathogens of concern in realistic contact times, ideal for environments that require quick turnover.
| Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® | Potassium Peroxymonosulfate | |
| Active Ingredient | 0.5% – 4.25% Hydrogen Peroxide | 21.41% |
| In Use Concentration | 300ppm – 5000ppm | 1000ppm – 4300ppm |
| Shelf Life | 2 – 3 Years (Concentrate or Ready to Use) 30 – 90 Days Diluted | 7 Days Diluted |
CLEANING EFFECTIVENESS:
AHP® utilizes both anionic and non-ionic surfactants within its formulation. Anionic surfactants have superior cleaning abilities in comparison to cationic surfactants as the electrical charge of anionic surfactants interact better with soil particles allowing for easier removal. In addition, non-ionic surfactants help in preventing redeposition of soils that have been lifted off the surface.
| Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® | Potassium Peroxymonosulfate | |
| Contains Surfactants | Yes (anionic and non-ionic) | Yes (cationic) |
EFFICACY PROFILE:
AHP® is proven to deliver superior kill performance; contact times are two times faster which ensures compliance that disinfection has been achieved. AHP® products have been proven effective against a broad-spectrum of pathogens, giving you confidence that your facility is protected against pathogens of concern.
