Claims19
A process for improving the storage stability of peracetic acid solution, said process comprising introducing into said solution an aliphatic alcohol ethoxylate wetting agent which as an EO number of greater than 4 in an amount of a least 0.1% by weight and sufficient to improve the storage stability of the peracetic acid in the solution.
A process for improving the storage stability of peracetic acid solution, said process comprising introducing into said solution, from 0.5 to 2.5% w/w of an aliphatic alcohol ethoxylate wetting agent which has an EO number of from 8 to 20.
A peracetic acid solution having improved storage stability comprising an aliphatic alcohol ethoxylate wetting agent which has an EO number of greater than 4 in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight sufficient to improve the storage stability of the peracetic acid in the solution.
A peracetic acid solution having improved storage stability comprising from 0.5 to 2.5% w/w of an aliphatic alcohol ethoxylate wetting agent which has an EO number of from 8 to 20.
