Oxyper is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide & sodium percarbonate, both of which are approved in food applications. Oxyper is a safe, solid form of hydrogen peroxide/sodium percarbonate.
APPLICATIONS:
Used to clean / sterilise / deodourise oak casks together with wine presses vats and tanks. A safe alternative to the use of caustic soda which can damage oak products.
Oxyper can be used to bleach & destain the surfaces of wooden vats, press cages and oak barrels.
Oxyper is particularly effective for soaking barrels in order to remove off–odours and as a means of sterilizing barrels both pre & post vintage.
Oxyper when used initially as a hot soaking solution in oak barrels and then as a hot spray will assist in the removal of tartrates and of retaining the desired aromatic oak characters in the barrel.
BENEFITS:
Oxyper dissolves rapidly, is odour free and will not taint.
Oxyper degrades naturally to sodium carbonate (ie chalk), oxygen and water.
USAGE RATE:
7 – 10g / Litre ( Depending on the application )
METHODS OF USE:
Soak the barrel for 24 hours in an initially hot solution of Oxyper and /or thoroughly spray a hot solution of Oxyper inside wooden casks to remove solid deposits or residues such as tartrates. Rinse clean with a warm water spray.
