Applications:

Synthetic glycolic acid and its derivatives are used widely in cosmetics, household, industrial cleaning applications. It can be used as a flavoring agent and preservative in food processing, water treatment industries; PH control, and chemical intermediates; It can also be applied as an important additive in many fields, such as metalworking, electro-plating, electro-polishing, tanning, spinning, dye printing.

Glycolic acid is a small molecular weight compound but has dual functionality of alcohol and acid. Because of its small molecular weight and size, it has a better capability to penetrate skin. It is used extensively in cosmetics. It is known that it diminishes the lines on the skin and make skins look young by acting as a humectants to absorb moisture in air and by exfoliating action to break the bonds between dead skin cells.

Activating the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid group, glycolic acid has the property to form metal complexes and can be used in cleaning applications and hard water dissolution. Glycolic acid is a useful intermediate in organic synthesis including oxidation reduction, esterification and formation of oligomers as well as long chain polymerization. They are also used in emulsion polymers, solvents and ink and paint additive to improve flow properties and impart gloss.
