The Chemours Company announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has approved Glyclean Hard Surface Cleaner for use against SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
When Glyclean AM is formulated at appropriate concentrations into cleaning and disinfecting products the formula can be effective against the SARS-COV-2 virus and help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, a release stated.
The U.S. EPA also registered several other Chemours product formulations that utilize Glyclean including: Glyclean Pine Cleaner, and Glyclean Bowl Cleaner.
Glyclean™ AM is based upon glycolic acid. As an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent, glycolic acid can be used as an active ingredient in formulating liquid-based disinfectants for use on hard, non-porous surfaces in consumer, industrial, institutional, agricultural or commercial facilities, including those used for food processing. A full list of applications is available at https://www.chemours.com/GlycleanAM.
“As we work together to combat this unprecedented health crisis, we are very excited that the EPA has approved Glyclean Hard Surface Cleaner as a product that can help prevent the transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19. And since Glyclean is an effective solution for large and small-scale cleaning and disinfecting, it can be used to meet the unique cleaning needs of hotels, restaurants, hospitals, food processing plants, public gyms, homes, and other ‘high-touch, high-traffic’ facilities with immovable hard surfaces that require on-site cleaning. Chemours is working closely with our customers to ensure they deliver products needed to slow and stop the spread of the novel coronavirus,” said Ed Sparks, president of Chemours Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions.
