Product Description

Glutaraldehyde is a powerful biocide and a sterilizing agent represented chemically by a dialdehyde structure. The colorless, oily liquid is prepared by oxidation of cyclopentene or dehydrogenation of 1,5-pentanediol. Generally, the production process causes a liquid form that is mostly aqueous and an acidic stabilizer which is necessary to avoid the polymerization of glutaraldehyde in its fresh form.

Glutaraldehyde is produced in several grades, both industrial and pharmaceutical, with a concentration commonly around 25% and 50%. Its worth covers a range of industries because of its efficiency as a disinfectant and sterilant. It is typically used for high-level disinfection of medical equipment, especially for the on that could be heat-sensitive, like endoscopes and surgical tools.

Glutaraldehyde is also used in the water treatment industry, in which it is utilized as a biofilm killer and for the development of X-ray films. Moreover, it is indispensable for tissue fixation in scanning electron microscopy in scientific research. One of the advantages of glutaraldehyde lies in its broad-spectrum capacity as it combats bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, making it prevalent in places with strict microbial control. It has wide applications in the leather tanning industry for the cross-linking of proteins, which results in a durable and high-resistance product.
