DuPont™ Glyclean® AM is EPA registered as a manufacturing product for use as an active ingredient in liquid disinfecting formulations on hard, non-porous surfaces for household, industrial, institutional or commercial premises. It can also be used in formulating disinfecting cleaners for agricultural premises, and food processing facilities and equipment. It contains 68% Glycolic Acid and 32% water.
Literature
DuPont™ Glyclean® AN is an acrylonitrile purification product with many benefits over acetic acid. Forming ammonium glycolate as opposed to acetate, it reduces polymerization by scavenging free ammonia at heat transfer surfaces. A stronger organic than acetic acid, Glyclean® AN cuts cleaning costs by requiring just one third the amount for most applications.
For wastewater systems, lower vapor pressure and higher boiling point improve pre-discharge distillation. For process equipment, a partition-to-water phase ratio of 21:4, versus 2:3 for acetic, means less corrosion. Studies show it breaks low-weight polymer so exchangers and columns stay cleaner longer. With similar handling characteristics as acetic, conversion to Glyclean® AN requires minimal retrofit.
