Glyclean™ D70

A Strong Disinfecting Agent Approved to Kill SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of Covid-19

Covid-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2. Glyclean Hard Surface Cleaner kills similar viruses and therefore can be used against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance with the directions for use against Rhinovirus Type 37 on hard, non-porous surfaces. Refer to the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html for additional information.

Glyclean™ D70 is nonflammable, low VOC, antimicrobial (AM) raw material based upon glycolic acid. It is designed for use in various hard surface cleaning and disinfecting formulations. Glyclean™ D70 has low corrosivity, making it effective for household and institutional cleaning applications, including removing soap scum and hard water deposits.

U.S. EPA-registered formulations that utilize Glyclean™ D70 as the active ingredient include (Note: these formulations are available for sub-registration, they are not available for sale to end-users):

• Glyclean™ Hard Surface Cleaner (EPA List N approved to kill SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus)
• Glyclean™ Pine Cleaner
• Glyclean™ Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Formulation Testing

Testing was done utilizing the Glyclean™ Hard Surface Cleaner formulation with a 5% Glyclean™ D70 active ingredient concentration that has been EPA registered. Testing was conducted to determine efficacy on hard, non-porous surfaces using the AOAC method 961.02 for germicidal sprays as disinfectants. This testing was conducted in the presence of a 5% fetal bovine serum organic load to allow for a one-step clean and disinfect claim. The date for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as several viral strains, are presented below. Bactericidal and viricidal activity (i.e., complete kill, expressed as % reduction) was achieved in 10 min.

Glyclean™ D70 Features and Benefits

As a registered EPA antimicrobial ingredient, glycolic acid is the active ingredient in the formulation of liquid, nonporous hard surface disinfectants for household, industrial, institutional, and commercial locations.
