Products Description
CAS: 79-14-1
Common Name: Glycolic Acid
Chemical Name:glycolic;glycolicacid,solution;HOCH2COOH;hydroxy-aceticaci;Kyselina glykolova;Kyselina hydroxyoctova;kyselinaglykolova; kyselinahydroxyoctova
Molecular formula: C2H4O3
Glycolic acid is used to smooth wrinkles, fade hyperpigmentation and sun damage, and generally improve the tone and texture of the skin. As such, it is often used in anti-aging products.
Glycolic acid, because of the small size of its molecules, can easily penetrate the skin. It helps loosenthe bonds that hold skin cells together, allowing dead skin cells to slough off more effectively. The skin feels softer and smoother, and its overall appearance is enhanced.

Application
1. Industrial Chemical Manufacturing
Glycolic Acid has one of the smallest organic molecules with both acid and alcohol functionality, resulting in unique chemical attributes.
2. Industrial Water & Boiler System Cleaners
Glycolic Acid removes hard water scale deposits by forming water soluble complexes which are easily rinsed away.
3. Oil Field & Petro Refining
Glycolic Acid ensures economical cleaning by providing low cost metal complexing in a readily biodegradable form.
4. Mining
Glycolic acid can be used as Fungicide on Mineral Flotation.
5. Electroplating
It can be used to produce Sodium glycolate and Potassium glycolate on electroplating.
