Diglycolic acid丨CAS 110-99-6 is a dicarboxylic acid with an ether linkage between two acetic acid units. It is a colorless crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Due to its bifunctional nature (two carboxyl groups and an ether oxygen), it serves as a versatile intermediate in polymer chemistry, cleaning formulations, and metal treatment.

 

Applications

 

1. Polymer and Resin Synthesis

Used as a monomer or chain extender in the production of polyesters, polyurethanes, and polyamides.

Enhances hydrophilicity, flexibility, and biodegradability of polymers.

Suitable for bioplastics and coatings where improved water solubility or dispersibility is needed.

2. Metal Chelation and Cleaning

Functions as a chelating agent for metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron.

Incorporated into industrial and household cleaners (e.g., descalers, bathroom cleaners) due to its ability to break down limescale and metal deposits.

More biodegradable and less aggressive than stronger chelators like EDTA.

3. Plasticizers and Additives

Can be used as a plasticizer precursor or component in formulation additives to improve material softness and flexibility.

4. Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Applications (Emerging)

Studied for use in controlled drug release systems and topical formulations due to its biodegradability and water solubility.

Not yet widely adopted in this sector but gaining interest.

5. Electronics and Semiconductor Cleaning

Employed in semiconductor cleaning solutions for removing metal contaminants in delicate electronic manufacturing processes.

 

Benefits

 

Versatile bifunctional molecule suitable for polymerization and complexation.

Biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than many synthetic acids and chelators.

Offers excellent solubility and compatibility with aqueous systems.

Improves hydrophilicity and biocompatibility of polymers and formulations.

Functions effectively in low pH cleaning applications.

 

Summary

 

Diglycolic acid丨CAS 110-99-6 is a biodegradable, hydrophilic dicarboxylic acid with widespread industrial use. It serves as an effective polymer building block, metal chelator, and cleaning agent. Its eco-friendly profile and structural versatility make it valuable in sustainable chemistry, materials science, and specialty formulations.
