Glycolic Acid Production Cost Reports

Glycolic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Glycolic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Glycolic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Glycolic Acid is an organic chemical that is chemically synthesized by the hydrolysis of monochloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide. Its chemical formula is given by C2H4O3. Its molecular mass is 76.05 g/mol. It is a chemical solid with a melting point that ranges approximately between 75 - 80 °C. It is a non-flammable crystalline solid with a deliquescent nature. It decomposes when heated at 78° C.

It is a water-soluble solid and can also be dissolved in other compounds, such as alcohols. Similarly, it is soluble in solvents, including ethers. It is a solid type of alpha hydroxy acid or AHA. It possesses excellent skin-rectifying abilities and is largely incorporated into personal care and cosmetics products. It is known to be used as a skin exfoliant that also occurs naturally in some plants and organisms, such as Synechocystis and Populus tremula.

It is considered a skin supplement that helps in improving skin texture, decreasing hyperpigmentation, sallowness of photoaged skin, fine wrinkling, etc. Glycolic Acid is a chemical exfoliant that is used in the formulation of various skin care and skin treatment products, such as moisturizers, exfoliating toning solutions, serums, and lotions. It has hydrating, anti-aging, and exfoliating properties.

It also helps in reversing sun damage caused on the skin. The compound is used in treating dark skin patches, acne, and acne scars, as well. Additionally, it is used in different other industrial operations and covers major sectors including food, chemical leather, as well as textile industries. The compound is used in operations such as tanning, dyeing, electropolishing and food stuffs, etc.
