Glyoxal is a small-molecule dialdehyde compound commonly supplied as an aqueous solution for industrial handling and processing. Due to the presence of two reactive aldehyde groups, it readily participates in condensation and crosslinking reactions with hydroxyl- or amine-containing substrates. Glyoxal (CAS 107-22-2) is typically used as a resin crosslinking agent in industrial formulation systems, where controlled reactivity contributes to network formation under defined processing conditions. For industrial users, the material is supplied with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, and complete documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, supporting bulk supply requirements.

Product Description
Product Name:Glyoxaldehyde
alias: glyoxal aqueous solution; oxaldehyde; glycaldehyde; Aldehyde oxaldehyde
Appearance:Yellow crystals or yellow liquid
Product introduction: Glyoxal is an organic compound with the chemical formula OCHCHO, which is connected by two aldehyde groups-C=O-H. It is Zui simple dialdehyde, a yellow liquid at room temperature, green vapor, and a purple flame when burned. Soluble in water, easily soluble in commonly used organic solvents. In industry, glyoxal can be produced by gas-phase oxidation of ethylene glycol catalyzed by silver or copper, or oxidized by acetaldehyde with nitric acid solution. In the laboratory, glyoxal is produced by oxidizing acetaldehyde with selenite acid. Anhydrous glyoxal can be prepared by co-heating solid hydrate with phosphorus pentoxide.

Scope of application: Glyoxal is mainly used in the textile industry, as a fiber treatment agent can increase the spinning and shrinkage and wrinkle resistance of cotton, nylon and other fibers, and is a durable pressing finishing agent. Glyoxal is an insoluble binder such as gelatin, animal glue, cheese, polyvinyl alcohol and starch, and glyoxal is also used in the leather industry and in the making of waterproof matches. Glyoxal is a raw material for organic synthesis. 2D-resin is obtained from acetaldehyde, urea and formaldehyde in the presence of sodium carbonate, which is used as a fabric finishing agent. It is also used as an insecticide, deodorant, preservative, and sand type curing agent.
