Product introduction：
Glyoxal is an intermediate chemical of versatile properties. It is used in many application fields, from textile/paper resin to H2S scavenging for water treatment/oilfield.
Application：
As a versatile crosslinker with biodegradability, Glyoxal links a wide range of polymers, for example starch, cellulose, proteinaceous material, polyacrylamide and polyvinyl alcohols. In textile and paper applications, Glyoxal is used as a crosslinking agent or building block for crosslinker for softer and less wrinkled textiles and enhanced wet/dry strength and efficient coating of paper. It is also used as a crosslinker in leather tanning processes. Especially in epoxy for electronics application, Glyoxal plays a role of building block to bring higher epoxy stability performance. In cosmetics, Glyoxal-crosslinking polymers (hydrocolloids) improves the viscosity. In disinfection application Glyoxal is a biocidal active ingredient for disinfection formulation in health industry and veterinary hygiene . Also, Glyoxal can be used in wood hardening application for better protection from moisture.
The sulfur scavenging property allows Glyoxal to act as a H2S scavenger with biocidal effect in water treatment and oilfield industries. The glyoxal-crosslinking polymers (hydrocolloids) can also be used to improve viscosity in oil-drilling fluids.
