Key Chemistry
pH
3
Active Mechanism
acidic dissolution
Surfactants
3 (anionic, nonionic, amphoteric)
Expert Analysis
Combines glycolic acid at 1-10% concentration with a multi-surfactant system (anionic, nonionic, amphoteric) to create an acidic cleaning platform that dissolves mineral deposits while providing traditional washing action. The low pH formulation targets water spots, scaling, and coating contamination through chemical dissolution rather than mechanical action alone.
Key Differentiators
- •Dual-method capability with extreme dilution range from 1:5 for foam cannon to 1:1000 for hand washing
- •Glycolic acid inclusion for active mineral dissolution and coating decontamination beyond standard surfactant cleaning
