Glyoxal Usage

Application	Characteristic	Function
Textiles	Textile auxiliary agent	Softer and less wrinkled textiles; Finishing clothing, 2D resin, M2D resin.
Paper	Transient wet strength agent	Paper wet strength(e.g. toilet paper); Paper dry strength(e.g. recycled paper); Efficient paper coating additive for high-quality papers; Wet strength increased the resistance of paper.
Leather	Cross-linking in tanning process.	Preservation of leather quality.
Cosmetics	Use of glyoxal-cross linking polymers(hydrocolloids)	Better viscosity.
Construction Industry	Cement curing agent	Improve the solidification strength, as a control landslide, can prevent the loss of mud to prevent the collapse.
Intermediate Area	Intermediate	Mainly for glyoxylate, D-hydroxyphenyl glycine, allantoin, benzene Enzyme pharynx, and berberine;
Epoxy	Building block for specific epoxy application	Higher epoxy stability performance
Oil & Gas	Sulfur scavenger Use of glyoxal-cross-linking polymers(hydrocolloids)	Anti-corrosive; Safety at work; Improves viscosity in oil-drilling fluids.
Disinfection	Biocidal active ingredient for disinfection formulations.	Co-biocide for disinfectants used in the health industry and in veterinary hygiene. Effective when formulated together with e.g. glutaraldehyde.
Glyoxylic Acid	Raw materials	Serves as an intermediate for vanillin, agricultural chemicals, antibiotics, allantoin, and complexing agents.

Glyoxal is widely used in Water treatment, textile, paper making, petroleum, medicine, paint and coating fields.
