Glycolic Acid: An Ingredient in Concrete Cleaners

The Green Power of Glycolic Acid

The Ultimate Ingredient for Eco-Friendly Concrete Cleaners

Glycolic Acid (CAS 79-14-1) is the smallest organic molecule in the alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid family. While commonly known in skincare, its industrial power lies in its unique dual functionality (alcohol + acid).

For the construction and industrial cleaning sectors, Royalchem offers a premium 70% Glycolic Acid Solution. It serves as a powerful, biodegradable alternative to harsh mineral acids, specifically designed to penetrate and dissolve cured concrete without damaging equipment.

Why Switch to Glycolic Acid?

Deep Penetration

Due to its tiny molecular size, it penetrates concrete pores faster than Phosphoric or Citric acid, reacting from the inside out.

Metal Safe

Unlike HCl, Glycolic acid has low corrosivity to metals. It effectively cleans aluminum scaffolding, tools, and trucks without etching.

100% Biodegradable

Meeting strict environmental regulations in Japan, EU, and Israel. Easy disposal with low chemical oxygen demand (COD).
