Sodium Percarbonate

Product Overview

Oxygen-Based Cleaner | Processing Aid | Non-Chlorine Sanitiser | Highly Active

Sodium Percarbonate is an oxygen-releasing compound formed from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. When dissolved in water, it breaks down into sodium carbonate and active oxygen, delivering powerful cleaning and sanitising performance without chlorine-based residues.

While not a direct food additive, sodium percarbonate is widely used in food manufacturing and processing environments as a cleaning and sanitation aid for equipment, surfaces, and production systems where hygiene and residue control are critical.

It appears as a white, free-flowing granular powder, is highly soluble in water, and provides effective removal of organic residues, stains, and biofilms in food-processing applications.
