Chemical Properties
Glycolic acid (GA) is an organic acid, which has the smallest molecular weight among all the alpha-hydroxy acids. Pure glycolic acid is a deliquescent crystalline solid with odorless and colorless crystals.
-
Industrial and Commercial Uses
Widely used in various industries, including pH control, cleaning agents, metal processing, textile dyeing and tanning, adhesives, and water treatment.
Used in acidic cleansing agents, dairy and industrial cleaning agents, and inhibits the growth of iron-oxidizing bacteria.
Applied in metal processing for pickling, cleaning, chemical milling, and electroplating, as well as in textile dyeing, printing, and creaseproofing.
Commercially available as a technical grade 70% aqueous solution, a 57% aqueous solution, or a 100% crystalline solid.
-
Medical and Cosmetic Applications
Utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a skin care agent, and in the food industry as a flavor and preservative.
Included in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning additive and humectant to help retain moisture.
Marketed for cosmetic products and household cleaning agents, with a growing market size expected to reach US$415.0 million by 2024.
-
Biomedical Applications
Used in medical applications for its ability to convert to biodegradable polymers like polyglycolic acid (PGA) and copolymers such as polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). PLGA is used in various medical applications due to its good mechanical properties.
-
Regulatory Status
Previously regulated as an antimicrobial pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), but its use as a pesticide has been cancelled.
Still regulated by FIFRA as an inert ingredient, categorized under List 3, inerts of unknown toxicity, with a PC code assigned by the EPA.
