A modern, safe and sustainable solution
Disinfection in the consumer and industrial markets is coming under increased regulatory pressure globally with a focus on user and environmental safety while maintaining broad-spectrum disinfection capabilities. To solve this problem novel active ingredients and formulations are needed.
Glycolic Acid as a disinfectant and cleaner is a well-suited answer to the changing demands of both regulation and modern consumers. Any new solution or formulation needs to be effective as a disinfectant and cleaner (for one step efficacy) while improving safety for both for the environment and the consumer.
This is why PureTech Scientific created Glyclean® D. To utilize Glycolic Acid’s unique chemistry to create a highly effective disinfectant active ingredient.
Highly effective against bacteria, virus, and fungi
Safe for users and for the environment
One step clean and disinfect
Manufactured in the USA
Globally registered
Formulations
Glyclean® D combines efficacy, safety, and ease of formulation into one product that you can quickly get to market via sub-registration, substantially similar registration, or usage as a MUP product where you own the EPA or EU registration. PureTech Scientific is currently in the European BPR process with Glyclean® D.
PureTech Scientific is committed to conducting ongoing research and development to expand kill claims while also working on new and improved formulations for registration. Currently we are in the final stages of developing and registering a Glyclean Broad Spectrum Pre-Saturated Wipe formulation and updating and improving our Glyclean Toilet bowl Cleaner (EPA 71654-2) formulation. Talk to PureTech Scientific today about additional formulations and registrations.

Future proof your formulations
Distinct safety advantages
Glyclean® D is a clear way to future proof your product offerings. Glycolic Acid is a well-known to consumers with a long history of safe and effective uses. Glycolic Acid, and by extension Glyclean® D, does not face the regulatory pressures present for the most commonly used disinfectant actives, most importantly Quats. Glyclean® D and Glycolic Acid will be part of a long-term solution to provide effective one-step clean and disinfect products to the global market today and tomorrow.
A disinfectant for today and tomorrow
Glyclean® D is a disinfectant that will have staying power as regulations around the globe change. Glyclean® D is readily biodegradable, VOC exempt, listed as both an active and inert, and is registered both with the US EPA and part of the transition BPR process. Combined with PureTech Scientific’s long history and world lead capacity of production of Glycolic Acid, Glyclean® D is a clear choice for a new disinfectant active.
Sustainable
PureTech Scientific is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the production of an environmentally friendly and biodegradable portfolio of glycolic acid solutions.
The journey to sustainable glycolic acid production is driven by the growing consumer demand for sustainable, nature-identical, active ingredients. PureTech Scientific is proud to lead the charge in producing sustainable Glycolic Acid at scale by evaluating our baseline environmental impact and migrating raw materials to more sustainable sources. Our Corporate Sustainability Team is working to validate raw material and power supply baselines as we undergo a shift to hit our near-term targets to source 50% of our raw materials from bio-based or upcycled sources.
STEP 1
Replace fossil fuel-based electricity with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power
STEP 2
Replace fossil fuel-derived carbon dioxide with renewable sourced recycled carbon dioxide
STEP 3
Replace synthetic precursor with bio-based syngas
STEP 4
Install carbon capture in production exhaust gases for utilities generation
