Handling & Protection

Avoid breathing mist and contact with skin or eyes. Use suitable protective gloves and eye protection, and work with adequate ventilation.

What Is Glyoxal 40%?

Glyoxal, also called ethanedial, is the simplest dialdehyde. The commercial 40% product is an aqueous mixture rather than pure glyoxal; its formula and molecular weight describe the glyoxal component.

In water, glyoxal exists in hydrated and associated forms, which is relevant when evaluating its behavior in a formulation.

The aldehyde functionality makes this material useful in crosslinking reactions and as a chemical intermediate. Industrial uses include paper coating systems, textile and leather processing, coatings and resins.

Grade selection should consider both the glyoxal content and the specified formaldehyde limit. Application trials should establish suitable dosage and process conditions for the buyer’s formulation.

The specifications below define the supplied solution; packaging and storage information describe how to receive and handle it.

FORMULATION

Glyoxal 40% Applications

Paper & Packaging

Use glyoxal as a crosslinking ingredient in paper coating and polymer systems. Its aldehyde groups react with compatible formulation components. Evaluate the grade in the intended coating recipe and processing conditions before setting a production dosage.

Textiles & Leather

Glyoxal is used in textile finishing and leather processing as a reactive crosslinking ingredient. Selection depends on the treatment chemistry and the required formaldehyde limit. Confirm compatibility and finishing performance through trials using the selected industrial grade.

Coatings & Resins

The dialdehyde functionality supports crosslinking reactions in compatible coating and resin systems. Glyoxal can also serve as an intermediate in resin chemistry. Buyers should provide their composition and impurity requirements so the appropriate supplied grade can be selected.

Oilfield Formulations

Glyoxal is used in oilfield chemical formulations, including crosslinking and hydrogen sulfide scavenging systems. Performance depends on the complete formulation and operating conditions. Establish material compatibility, dosage and suitability in the actual process during application evaluation.
