  • 2009: An aqueous mixture of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) (CAS 79-21-0), hydrogen peroxide (HP) (CAS 7722-84-1), acetic acid (AA) (CAS 64-19-7), and, optionally, sulfuric acid (SA) (CAS 7664-93-9);
  • 2006: An aqueous mixture of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) (CAS 79-21-0), hydrogen peroxide (HP) (CAS 7722-84-1), acetic acid (AA) (CAS 64-19-7), sulfuric acid (SA) (CAS 7664-93-9), and 1-hydroxyethylidine-1,1- diphosphonic acid (HEDP) (CAS 2809-21-4);
  • 2004: Carbamodithioic acid, N,N-dibutyl-, C,C’-methylene ester (CAS 10254-57-6);
