When it comes to the shelf life of glycolic acid
, among all chemical materials, the study of its shelf life is quite important. This is related to the survival of material quality and the quality of application.
View of glycolic acid, its shelf life is affected by various factors. The first to bear the brunt is the storage environment. If placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight and hot topics, its quality can remain stable for a long time. If it is in a hot place or exposed to strong light, its molecular structure is prone to change, resulting in a shrinkage in shelf life.
Secondly, the state of packaging also has a great impact. If it is held in a tightly sealed container with suitable materials, it can block the intrusion of external air, water vapor and other impurities, and the glycolic acid can be kept pure and the shelf life can be extended. On the contrary, if the packaging is omitted, various external factors will take advantage of it, triggering a reaction and speeding its deterioration.
Furthermore, the purity of glycolic acid itself is also critical. Those with high purity have few impurities, few internal reactions, and a long shelf life. If the purity is poor, there are many impurities, and impurities or act as a catalyst to promote its decomposition or reaction with other substances, so that the shelf life is short.
Therefore, in order to ensure the long shelf life of glycolic acid, the storage environment should be carefully placed, and the packaging should be carefully selected to ensure high purity. In this way, only when required can high-quality glycolic acid be used to achieve the desired effect.
