PureTech Scientific glycolic acid, previously manufactured by Chemours, is a broad range industrial liquid cleaner. It is an organic acid that is biodegradable and more environmentally friendly with less toxicity than alternative acids. Glycolic acid is one of the smallest organic molecules with both acid and alcohol functionality. Its unique properties make it ideal for a broad spectrum of cleaning applications including hard surfaces, industrial water systems, masonry surfaces, boiler systems, concrete cleaners and removers, water wells, and metal surfaces.
