Italian term

p/p

Italian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
I need some help with the meaning of this abbreviation in the description of an analysis method. Is it already in English as many scientific abbreviations are? The context is: "lavaggio utilizzando detergente alcalino e HCl 32% **p/p**" Many thanks, Sarah.
