Designed to protect both you and your system

• Does not produce 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.
• Compatible with thin film composite membranes
  Minncare® Cold Sterilant gently and completely cleans membranes. Minntech peracetic acid formulations have been successfully used at hundreds of locations on thin film composite 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.
• Superior biocidal activity
  Protect reverse osmosis membranes and their associated distribution systems against short- and long-term 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. Minncare® Cold Sterilant may also provide bacterial protection during shipment or down times of RO membranes.
• Easily disposable
  Minncare® Cold Sterilant poses no threat to municipal waste treatment plants. Spent Minncare® Cold Sterilant is acetic acidic and requires normal neutralization as specified by your state and local government regulations. A 1% solution of Minncare® Cold Sterilant has a pH of 3.5
• Biodegradable
  Minncare® Cold Sterilant is biodegradable and will decompose into oxygen, water and acetic acid. Residual test strips are available that accurately verify rinse-out levels of Minncare® Cold Sterilant as low as one part per million (1ppm)
• Minncare® 1% Test Strips
  Minncare® 1% Test Strips verify adequate concentration of a 1% Minncare®  solution during sanitization of your high purity water system. These convenient dip-and-read strips can be used at any test port in your system to provide an accurate pass/fail measurement of Minncare®  solution.
• Minncare®  Residual Test Strips
  Minncare® Residual Test Strips are easy-to-use and are conveniently packaged in 100 test strips per container. Each strip has a "reaction zone" pad located at on end of the strip. When stored and used properly, the test strip pad can indicate residual Minncare®  levels as low as 1 part per million (ppm). The reaction zones are set to provide six different reading levels at 100, 30, 10, 3, 1 and 0 (zero) parts per million (ppm).
  Both the Minncare®  1% TS and the Minncare®  Residual; Test Strips may be used up to the date of expiration printed on the container even after opening. There is no need to separately record and verify container opening dates.

"In an effort to determine the effectiveness of Minncare® as a sterilant compared to biocides traditionally recommended for use on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and their associated water distribution systems, Minncare® Cold Sterilant, formaldehyde, bleach and hydrogen peroxide were tested for efficacy by an independent testing laboratory. The concentrations chosen for the test were ...." (read more)
