Glycolic Acid Powder (hydroacetic acid or hydroxyacetic acid); chemical formula C2H4O3 (also written as HOCH2CO2H), is the smallest hydroxy acid (AHA). This colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic crystalline solid is highly soluble in water. Glycolic Acid Powder is used in various skin-care products. Glycolic Acid Powder is found in some sugar-crops. A glycolate or glycollate is a salt or ester of Glycolic Acid Powder.Highly purified grades of Glycolic Acid Powder are commercially available for personal care applications. Organic Synthesis Glycolic Acid Powder is a useful intermediate for organic synthesis, in a range of reactions including: oxidation-reduction, esterification and long chain polymerization.

1. Industrial Chemical Manufacturing
Glycolic Acid has one of the smallest organic molecules with both acid and alcohol functionality, resulting in unique chemical attributes.
2. Industrial Water & Boiler System Cleaners
Glycolic Acid removes hard water scale deposits by forming water soluble complexes which are easily rinsed away.
3. Oil Field & Petro Refining
Glycolic Acid ensures economical cleaning by providing low cost metal complexing in a readily biodegradable form.
4. Mining
Glycolic acid can be used as Fungicide on Mineral Flotation.
5. Electroplating
It can be used to produce Sodium glycolate and Potassium glycolate on electroplating.
