Glycolic acid solution is a useful solution of acid. It is a useful intermediate for synthesis. The most useful synthesis use is for oxidation reduction esterification and long chain polymerization. It is used as a monomer to create PLGA and other biocompatible copolymers. It is often useful for dyeing and tanning, and is often included in emulsion polymers, solvents and additives for ink and paint. It is metabolized by cells in vitro to become oxalic acid which kills cells. It is synthesized many ways but is often isolated from sugarcane, pineapples and other acidic tasting fruits.
