In addition, it can destroy the lipid bilayer structure on the microbial cell membrane and kill bacteria. Its bactericidal mechanism is:

 

(1) Deactivate enzymes through oxidation;

 

(2) By inhibiting the oxidative phosphorylation process, the respiratory chain is interrupted, thereby inhibiting metabolism and causing bacterial death; disinfectant also has a certain killing effect on viruses.

If fresh dried meat products are soaked in solutions with concentrations of 0.1%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.7% for more than 5 to 10 hours, salted egg sauce or mayonnaise and other products can be made.

 

5. It can be used as a disinfectant for swimming pool water and a pre-aeration agent in drinking water treatment; it can also be used as a cleaning agent for metal surfaces, an anti-shrinkage agent for wool fabrics, and a degreasing agent before leather tanning; it can also be used as a synthetic It is an initiator for resin polymerization and one of the raw materials for vulcanization accelerator of chlorinated rubber.
