Applications
Where PS-12 & PS-16 Work
From meat processing lines to fresh produce wash systems, PS-12 and PS-16 are engineered for the full range of food safety applications — with a growing portfolio of future markets on the horizon.
Food Processing Applications
PS-12 and PS-16 are pending FDA and USDA FSIS approval for use across the most critical food processing categories.
Meat Processing
Applied as an antimicrobial intervention on beef, pork, and other red meats — targeting Salmonella, E. coli (STEC), and other pathogens on carcasses, trim, and contact surfaces throughout the processing line.
Poultry Processing
Used in poultry dip tanks, chiller water systems, spray applications, and on contact surfaces to reduce Salmonella and Campylobacter on whole birds, parts, and further-processed poultry products.
Fruits & Vegetables
Applied in wash water and spray systems for fresh and fresh-cut produce — delivering broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy against E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella without leaving objectionable odors or residues.
Eggs
Used in egg washing and sanitizing operations to reduce pathogen loads on shell eggs, supporting food safety from farm to table.
Aseptic Packaging Applications
Applied in aseptic packaging sterilization systems to deliver high-level antimicrobial performance on packaging materials — ensuring product safety and extended shelf life without the corrosion and odor concerns of conventional oxidizers.

Future Applications
The chemistry behind PS-12 and PS-16 extends well beyond food processing. These markets represent the next phase of label claims under development.
Municipal Wastewater Treatment
High-concentration alkaline peracetic acid offers a powerful, environmentally favorable alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants in municipal wastewater systems — effective against a broad range of microorganisms with reduced formation of harmful disinfection byproducts.
Aseptic Packaging Sterilization
PS-12 and PS-16 are well-suited for sterilization of aseptic packaging materials — delivering the high-level antimicrobial performance required for extended shelf-life products without the corrosion and odor concerns of conventional oxidizers.
Animal Drinking Water
Applied at low concentrations in livestock and poultry drinking water systems to reduce pathogen loads and improve animal health outcomes — a safer, more effective alternative to chlorine-based water treatments.
Hard Surface Sanitization
Effective as a hard surface sanitizer in food processing facilities, commercial kitchens, and other regulated environments — delivering broad-spectrum kill with a safer handling profile than bleach or chlorine dioxide.
