Boulder chemical company receives EPA approvals

BOULDER — Clean Chemistry has gotten the Environmental Protection Agency approval it needs to start marketing its new chemical product.

The company’s patented product, PeroxyMAX, got EPA approval as a biocide, to be used in clearing out bacteria from water.

PeroxyMAX is an oxidizer, similar to that of bleach or peroxide, but stronger. Clean Chemistry CEO and co-founder Damon Waters said the product is ideal for microbial cleaning for things such as HVAC systems’ water or wastewater.

Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

The goal is to clean out bacteria that can make people sick, Waters said, while still being environmentally safe. Unlike other chemical products such as chlorine, PeroxyMAX is non-corrosive and biodegradable, Waters said.

With the EPA approval, Clean Chemistry is now looking at marketing PeroxyMAX to potential customers, and expanding its approvals. A next step is U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to use the biocide on vegetables, clearing them of any human-harmful bacteria.
