Satisfactory 40% peracetic acid is obtainable from Buffalo Electrochemical Corp., Food Machinery and Chemical Corp., Buffalo, New York. The specifications given by the manufacturer for its composition are peracetic acid, 40% hydrogen peroxide, 5% acetic acid, 39% sulfuric acid, 1% water, 15%. Its density is 1.15 g. per ml. 

Another new and interesting polymer family, the Oxirons, are under development by Food Machinery and Chemical Corp. (13), These, too, are struoto-pendant prepolymers prepared from butadiene to which the epoxy functional group is introduced. Functionality may be of the epoxy or unsatiuration type. A typical prepolymer might be a material of a molecular weight of 1500. These systems are cross-linked with anhydrides, amines, and peroxides.
