Agar Hyperax 5 Peroxyacetic Acid Sanitiser 25kg ‑ Food-Safe Broad-Spectrum Disinfectant for Food & Beverage Processing

What Is Agar Hyperax 5?

Agar Hyperax 5 is a 5% peroxyacetic acid sanitiser formulated for food and beverage processing, dairies, wineries, breweries, post‑harvest fruit and vegetable sanitising, animal housing facilities, veterinary clinics and healthcare facilities. It is an equilibrium mixture of hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid, delivering powerful, broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action even in the presence of hard water.

Hyperax 5 is biodegradable, decomposing into water and acetic acid (the same active compound found in vinegar) after use.

Key Benefits of Agar Hyperax 5

• Powerful, broad‑spectrum germ-killing action against bacteria, yeasts, mould and fungi
• Effective even in the presence of hard water
• Attacks bio-films that build up in pipes and fittings
• Suitable for direct and indirect food contact in food processing, provided it is used as directed
• Biodegradable ‑ decomposes into water and acetic acid
• Removes odour-causing bacteria, deodorising hard-to-keep-fresh areas such as garbage bins and kennels
• Low-foaming, making it well suited to Clean in Place (CIP) systems
• Highly versatile across food, beverage, agricultural and healthcare applications

How Does Agar Hyperax 5 Work?

Agar Hyperax 5 contains an equilibrium mixture of hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid, two powerful oxidising agents that are highly effective at killing microorganisms and their spores. It works against bacteria, yeasts, mould and fungi, and also breaks down bio-films that accumulate inside pipes and fittings.

When used as directed, Hyperax 5 solutions can be applied in food processing where there is direct or indirect food contact, which helps cut contamination and cross-contamination of edible products. Because it is low-foaming, it is well suited to Clean in Place (CIP) systems used throughout food and beverage processing plants.

Hyperax 5 is highly reactive and must not be mixed with detergents, soaps, or caustic or acidic chemicals, as these will deactivate the peroxyacetic acid needed for the product to work.

What Surfaces and Industries Is Agar Hyperax 5 Used For?

Its intended uses cover sanitising fruit and vegetables, utensils, bottles, conveyors and food contact surfaces, along with benches, tables, chairs, floors, walls, drains, troughs, drip pans and equipment. Diluted Hyperax 5 will not harm aluminium or stainless steel, and it can also go on glass, porcelain, ceramics and any other hard surface that bleaching agents do not affect.

Food processing plants use Hyperax 5 as a biocide on glass or stainless steel processing, transfer and storage equipment once it has been cleaned and degreased. Wineries and breweries apply it during routine cleaning of brewhouse and fermentation areas, clarification and filtration plant, tank farms and bottling cellars. It is also suited to dairies, post-harvest fruit and vegetable sanitising, animal housing facilities, veterinary clinics and healthcare facilities.
