Industrial Water & Boiler System Cleaner Applications

DuPont™ Glycolic Acid removes hard water scale deposits (calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese salts) by forming water soluble complexes (chelates) which are easily rinsed away.  Containing no phosphates, its ready biodegradability prevents accumulation in the environment.
Glycolic Acid improves the efficiency of feeds, vapor flashing and activated-carbon bed equipment in ground water remediation systems and heat exchange efficiency in cooling towers.  A mixture of Glycolic Acid and formic acid is fast and effective for cleaning high pressure stainless steel steam generators.
