Acid Comparison

Chart

Compare nine different acids across key performance metrics. Glycolic acid delivers the best balance with good descaling power, excellent iron chelation, high speed of action, and low toxicity.

Chemours Glycolic Acid Technical Data

The smallest alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid offers unmatched cleaning versatility. Features 90% biodegradability in 7 days, low corrosivity, and negligible odor from the industry's leading 70-year supplier.

Industry Transparency Guide

Smart buyers now demand full transparency in cleaning chemicals. Learn how AI tools expose hidden dilution rates and help analyze true cost per use instead of price per gallon.

Cleaning Chemistry Fundamentals

Organic soils need alkaline cleaners; inorganic buildup requires acids. Success depends on proper time, agitation, concentration, pH, and temperature.

Paint Compatibility Testing

24-hour testing shows glycolic acid causes minimal damage to painted surfaces compared to hydrochloric and phosphoric acids at equal concentrations.

Glycolic vs. Phosphoric Comparison

Glycolic dissolves calcium carbonate 20% more effectively, biodegrades readily, forms no insoluble phosphates, and produces no harmful fumes.

Indigo Product Overview
