ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Product Description

Product Description-Glycolic Acid CAS#79-14-1


Glycolic acid is a vital chemical product and core organic-synthesis intermediate. It is extensively used in organic synthesis, cleaning, electroplating, textile, leather-tanning and sterilization industries. Recent studies indicate glycolic-acid-based polymers are biodegradable. They address the low degradability of conventional plastics and find wide-ranging applications in medical and packaging sectors.

Product Applications-Glycolic Acid CAS#79-14-1


Glycolic acid is an important chemical raw material for manufacturing ethylene glycol, menthyl glycolate and quinine glycolate.


It is also used to prepare tanning agents, hair dyes, leather-fiber dyes, adhesives, metal chelators, petroleum demulsifiers, electroplating agents, aluminum etchants, cellulose fabric cross-linkers and stainless-steel electropolishing agents.


Furthermore, it functions as a cleaner and disinfectant for food-processing and livestock facilities, a boiler anti-scaling agent, a surface-treatment agent for copper and other metals, and an ingredient in skincare cosmetics.
