▸ TELEIOS / T-24
THE CASE FOR A CLEAN CHEMISTRY TECHNOLOGY
T-24

Kills Salmonella on par with PAA — without the odor, the acid, or the acetic-acid bill that lands on the other side of the plant.

T -24 is a patented sodium-peracetate antimicrobial, generated fresh inside your plant from three GRAS food-safe ingredients and run through your current application system. It’s virtually odorless — which means you set concentration on your numbers, not on what the line crew can stand.

▸WHY TRUST A NEW ANTIMICROBIAL

T-24 is new. The people behind it are not.

Every new product in this industry runs into the same question: if it's better, why isn't everyone already on it? Fair question — here's the answer.

Teleios was founded by people who built direct-contact antimicrobial intervention programs that ran in dozens of poultry plants across North America, supported by 60-plus patents, and were acquired in 2021.

They didn't leave the problem after that. They spent more than a decade watching the PAA market and cataloging what it quietly costs a plant: corrosion, odor, wastewater, and the gap between the concentration you should run and the concentration your people can stand.

▸WHAT T-24 IS

On-site chemistry, three ingredients, one alkaline oxidant.

T-24, a Clean Chemistry Technology, is a patented sodium-peracetate antimicrobial generated on site, fresh every day, from three GRAS food-safe ingredients your plant already knows: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and triacetin. The technology is manufactured by Clean Chemistry, Inc.

T-24 isn't delivered as finished antimicrobial. Its three ingredients come to your plant, where a generator combines them on demand and feeds the finished solution straight to your application points.

It's an oxidant — same class as PAA. The difference is pH. You run PAA acidic; T-24 runs alkaline. That one change is the root of everything else on this page.

Same kill, different chemistry, none of the collateral damage: no odor, no acid on your chain and equipment, no acetic acid in your wastewater.

▸THE EVIDENCE · DOES IT KILL

First question, every time: does it kill as well as what you run now?

Yes — and not on our say-so. T-24's Salmonella reduction has been measured against PAA in three separate studies, two of them by AEMTEK, an independent lab: a chiller-simulation immersion study, a wing study, and a tender spray study. Three application points, three setups, no stake in the outcome.

▸ CHILLER-SIMULATION IMMERSION · AEMTEK

No statistical difference. Both T-24 and PAA hit the same Salmonella reduction — side by side.

So, plainly: T-24 doesn't kill better than PAA. It kills the same. Switching costs you nothing on the number that sets your category status — it stays exactly where it is. Everything else on this page is what you pick up on top of that.

▸WHAT PAA COSTS · THREE PLANTS

Three plants called about three different problems. PAA was underneath all of them.

Nobody calls Teleios to "switch antimicrobials." They call because something specific broke, got expensive, or showed up on an audit. Here’s what three of them found once someone added up the rest.

01
▸ FIELD NOTES · ODOR
▸ Odorless · no off-gassing

The further processor in Category 3 — and the reason he’d never named it.

A further processing plant in the Southeast had been sitting in Category 3.

You already know PAA smells. What was keeping him in Category 3 is the part that rarely gets said out loud: in the busiest stretches of his line — where his people stood shoulder to shoulder — the smell was setting his concentration. Not his HACCP plan. Not his Salmonella data. The smell. He’d been holding the dose down to whatever the room could stand, and he’d never named it that way. Most people running PAA haven’t. It just turns into the cost of doing business.

When our team got there, he didn’t soften it. He told us flat out: he hated PAA.

T-24 is odorless, so the first thing it handed him back was the decision. He could set concentration on his numbers — full strength, every point on the line, including the crowded areas where PAA had been holding him down. The kill itself is on par with PAA; the studies say so. The chemical was never the problem. Being able to run it the way his plan called for was.

02
▸ FIELD NOTES · EQUIPMENT
▸ Equipment longevity

The air-chill plant buying a $500,000 chain twice as often as it should.

This one called about corrosion.

Their galvanized steel conveyor chain runs north of $500,000 to replace. Rated for 12 to 18 months. They were pulling it and replacing it every 8 — a half-million-dollar capital line landing twice as often as it should, sitting in a maintenance budget nobody traces back to the chemical on the line.

PAA is acidic. Acid on galvanized steel, shift after shift, and the steel pays for it. T-24 runs alkaline — that acid is off the chain.

Here’s what we won’t do: This plant hasn’t run T-24 long enough to report a new chain interval, so we won’t put one on the page. What we’ll stand behind is the cause. T-24 studies show PAA to be 80x more corrosive on galvanized steel. The accelerant on that chain was acid, and it’s gone.

03
▸ FIELD NOTES · WASTEWATER
▸ Wastewater impact

The plant paying for PAA on the water bill.

This plant had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars before they called us — not on chemistry, on consequences. Wastewater treatment. Fines from the municipality on their water.

PAA breaks down into acetic acid, and that acetic acid goes down the drain with everything else — straight onto the plant’s organic load. More load, higher treatment cost, surcharges from the city. None of it lands in the QA office; it lands in a utility budget on the other side of the building, which is why it can run for years without anyone tying it back to the chemical on the line.

T-24’s chemistry doesn’t put that acetic-acid load into your effluent. We built them a plan that brought the treatment cost and the fines down hard — and tightened their micro at the same time.

×3
▸ PROCESS CONTROL & PRODUCT QUALITY · NOW COUNT YOURS

Three plants. A food-safety manager, a maintenance budget, a utility bill. None of them set out to evaluate antimicrobials.

Each called about one specific problem — and every time, the same chemical was under it, costing more than the problem that made them pick up the phone. That’s how PAA’s price works: real, ongoing, spread across departments that never compare notes. Which is why it’s so easy to keep paying it — and why it’s worth finding out what you’re paying.

▸WHAT A SWITCH ASKS

Switching costs less than you’d think.

T-24 runs at the application points you already have. No re-engineering your line. The generator ties into your existing setup, handles hard water, and doses automatically with real-time control, so concentration holds where you set it at every point — no guessing. You decide where the program runs harder and where it eases off.

And Teleios doesn’t drop a generator and leave. Through Blue Ribbon Service the program is supported on-site, and every week you get a scorecard: what was promised against what was delivered, in real numbers, in writing. Not a sales follow-up. An accounting.

▸FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The shortlist.

Five questions we hear from the buying committee, answered in plain language.

What is T-24? +
T-24, a Clean Chemistry Technology, is a patented sodium-peracetate antimicrobial generated on site from three GRAS food-safe ingredients: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and triacetin. It is cleared under FDA Food Contact Notification 2352 and listed in FSIS Directive 7120.1.
Is T-24 approved for poultry processing? +
Yes. T-24 is cleared under FDA FCN 2352 for use in process water, ice, brine, wash, spray, dip, rinse, chiller water, low-temp immersion bath, scald water, and shell-egg wash water for poultry, beef, pork, and shell-egg operations.
How does T-24 compare to peracetic acid? +
T-24 is alkaline instead of acidic. It is virtually odorless. It does not bring the same acid exposure to chains, concrete, and equipment. It also significantly reduces BOD5 load to the wastewater stream. On Salmonella, the measured reduction is on par with PAA.
Where is T-24 generated? +
On site, at your plant, fresh every day. Generation skids are monitored 24/7 from Longmont, CO. No bulk acid delivery. No bulk acid storage.
How do I see whether T-24 fits my plant? +
