Chemical cleaning: 70% glycolic acid solution is mostly used as a cleaning agent as the main cleaning raw material for air conditioners, boilers, power plant transfer lines, condensers and heat exchangers, etc.
Metal surface treatment: glycolic acid can be further used in the electroplating industry for electroplating milling and metal acid-wash. Glycolic acid is also a solvent for electroless nickel plating with the advantages of corrosion resistance, speedy reaction, cleanliness and finish, etc. and is the best dispensing raw material to enhance the quality of electroless nickel plating.
Textile industry: in the textile industry, it can be used in the cross-linking coupling agent for dyeing and finishing wool fibers and cellulose fabrics or the cross-linking catalyst for fiber fabrics containing the carboxyl group. It can also replace glacial acetic acid with the environmental advantages of low BOD and COD.
