Patent ID: 8524647

Claim:
A process for producing a composition consisting of: (a) selecting a hydrogen peroxide solution, wherein the hydrogen peroxide solution consists only of (1) hydrogen peroxide, water, and low solids water having less than 10 ppm dissolved solids; or (2) hydrogen peroxide, water, low solids water having less than 10 ppm dissolved solids, and isopropyl alcohol; (b) preparing a glycolic acid solution by mixing a first solution with a low solids water, wherein (i) the first solution is, glycolic acid, water, and optionally, isopropyl alcohol, (ii) the low solids water has less than 10 ppm dissolved solids, (iii) the weight percent of the glycolic acid in the glycolic acid solution is between 1% and 15% by weight, and (iv) the glycolic acid solution consists only of (1) the glycolic acid, water, and the low solids water or (2) glycolic acid, water, the low solids water, and isopropyl alcohol; and (c) mixing only the hydrogen peroxide solution and the glycolic acid solution to form the composition.
