Glycolic Acid is highly effective for copper and
aluminum finishing and metal cleaning applications,
including boilers and heat exchangers. Essentially
chloride free, it can also be used for stainless
steel without stress-cracking. There are many metal
cleaning applications in the electronics manufacturing
industry which should be considered. Glycolic Acid
readily dissolves carbonate, oxide and most casein
scales.
With the pH level of a 4% solution in water below
2.0, Glycolic Acid emits little corrosive fuming
when hot, and 70% concentrate can be quickly diluted
to any desired strength with water. Glycolic Acid
is compatible with additives, including surfactants,
biocidal agents, corrosion inhibitors.
