The Glyclean® D product line from PureTech Scientific consists of glycolic acid–based disinfection solutions designed for household, industrial, and chemical sanitization applications. These EPA-registered formulations are available for sub-registration, with regulatory support provided globally by PureTech Scientific.
Glyclean® D70HP is a high-purity, dual-function ingredient that combines antimicrobial efficacy with superior cleaning power in hard surface formulations. This manufacturing-use-only product must be incorporated into EPA-approved formulations through sub-registration.
U.S. EPA-registered formulations featuring Glyclean® D70HP include Glyclean® Broad Spectrum Disinfectant and Cleaner, Glyclean® Hard Surface Cleaner (EPA List N approved for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19), Glyclean® Pine Cleaner, and Glyclean® Toilet Bowl Cleaner. These formulations are available for sub-registration but are not sold directly to end users.
Glyclean® D70HP employs its acid and alcohol functional groups to disrupt microbial cells effectively. Its small molecular structure ensures rapid penetration while minimizing microbial resistance development.
It is proven effective against a broad spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including E. coli (O157:H7), Listeria welshimeri, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus. Full EN 13697 studies are available for review.
Glyclean® D70HP demonstrates effectiveness against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19), Influenza Type A, Rhinovirus Type 37, and Herpes Type 1.
Glyclean® Hard Surface Cleaner has been tested for efficacy against viruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 on nonporous surfaces. When applied per the instructions for use against Rhinovirus Type 37, it can be utilized for disinfection against SARS-CoV-2.
