Product Features - CrossChem Limited offers very high purity 70% solution glycolic acid. Our patent pending biochemical technology utilizes a fermentation based Enzymatic Biochemical Process (EBP). Unlike traditional chemical production of glycol acid, our process is very environmentally friendly generating little waste. In addition, our fermentation based biochemical process creates a high purity glycolic acid limiting many of the chemical impurities inherent to the synthetic chemical manufacturing process. CrossChem's patent pending process meets the growing global demands for responsible environmental and energy management. The extremely low levels of organic and inorganic impurities create a high performance intermediate.

Product Benefits - The high purity increases processing efficiency and product yields facilitating greater finished product quality while reducing processing costs. Due to its high purity, it is an ideal starting material for making polyglycolic acid (PGA). The GlyAcid EBP™ 70% Solution benefits are important value added contributions for your competitive advantage.

Applications - CrossChem's GlyAcid EBP™ 70% Solution is used in many industries and in many applications. The personal care and cosmetic industry formulates our product into anti-aging and exfoliating applications among others. Our product is also a key intermediate in the manufacturing of surgical and pharmaceutical materials. In the polymeric form, our product helps produce products such as surgical threads, capsules, nails, pins, and rods which biodegrade in the human body. The polymers' absorbability function is finding new and exciting controlled drug delivery applications.
