Glyclean® | Glycolic acid for cleaning

Cleaner formulas. Faster to market.

Glyclean® puts the cleaning power of glycolic acid to work on hard surfaces, wipes and industrial processes, with the consistency to hit the same result every batch. Choose from four grades built for different jobs, including Glyclean® D grades that clean and disinfect in one step and come with formulations ready to sub-register.

How it works

Cleans first. Disinfects with Glyclean® D.

For Hard Surfaces

Chelates iron, calcium and magnesium to lift rust, scale and soils, and disinfects in the same pass.

For Wipes

Stays in the solution rather than binding to cellulose wipe substrates, so the active goes where it is needed.

Food

Supports disinfectants for food and feed areas (PT4) in EU & GB.

Veterinary

Supports veterinary hygiene (PT3) in EU & GB.
