APPLICATION
Primary applications are as a cross-linking agent and biocide, with major uses in the textile,
paper, and water treatment industries. It is also used as an intermediate in the chemical and
pharmaceutical sectors, in adhesives, and in oilfield chemicals.
Glyoxal 40% is a common, highly reactive, clear liquid (40% glyoxal in water) used across
industries as a versatile cross-linking agent, preservative, and chemical intermediate, vital
for making fabrics wrinkle-resistant, paper stronger (wet-strength), and improving coatings,
while also finding uses in leather, cosmetics, oil/gas, and water treatment due to its ability to
react with proteins and polymers, offering a lower formaldehyde alternative.
