Glutaraldehyde 50% is a highly potent aqueous biocide and cold sterilant utilized for its rapid action against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. This Technical Grade solution is preferred in industrial settings for its exceptional protein-crosslinking capabilities and high stability.

As a versatile antimicrobial agent, it effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi in recirculating systems and process waters. It serves as a critical preservative and disinfectant, ensuring long-term protection and operational efficiency in high-demand industrial environments.

The solution provides a high purity level essential for maintaining system integrity in sectors sensitive to biofouling and microbial contamination. Its technical profile makes it a primary choice for water treatment and chemical synthesis where reliability is paramount.

Glutaraldehyde 50%

  • Industrial Water Treatment: Employed as a non-oxidizing biocide to control algae and slime-forming bacteria in cooling towers and evaporative condensers.
  • Oil & Gas Operations: Used to mitigate sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in fracturing fluids, produced water, and secondary oil recovery injection systems.
  • Healthcare & Lab Sterilization: Utilized as a high-level disinfectant for heat-sensitive surgical instruments and equipment due to its fast-acting sporicidal properties.

Classified as Toxic and Corrosive. Contact causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage. This substance is a known respiratory sensitizer; inhalation may cause asthma-like symptoms. Mandatory PPE includes chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and vapor respirators.
