Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

Disinfectant and Sterilant: Glutaraldehyde 50% is widely used as a high-level disinfectant and sterilant for medical and dental equipment that cannot be heat sterilized, such as endoscopes, surgical instruments, and other reusable devices. It is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Tissue Fixative: In histology and pathology, glutaraldehyde is used as a fixative for tissues before microscopic examination. It crosslinks proteins, preserving cellular structures for analysis.

2. Water Treatment

Biocide in Water Treatment: Glutaraldehyde is used as a biocide in industrial water treatment systems, such as cooling towers, to control microbial growth, including bacteria, fungi, and algae. It prevents biofilm formation and helps maintain the efficiency of heat exchange systems.

3. Construction

Concrete and Cement: Used as an additive in concrete and cement formulations to improve workability and control setting times. It helps in enhancing the performance of these materials in construction applications.

4. Fabric Solutions

Finishing Agents: In the textile industry, glutaraldehyde 50% is used as a finishing agent to impart specific properties to fabrics, such as wrinkle resistance and improved durability.
Tanning Agent: In the leather industry, glutaraldehyde is used as a tanning agent to improve the durability and flexibility of leather products. It stabilizes the collagen in hides, making them more resistant to bacterial degradation.
Textile Treatment: It is also used in the textile industry as a crosslinking agent to improve the durability and resistance of fabrics to shrinking and wrinkling.

5. Oil& Gas

Biocide in Drilling Operations: Used in oil and gas drilling fluids to inhibit microbial growth that can cause corrosion or clogging in pipelines and equipment.
Pipeline Maintenance: Prevents microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) in pipelines and storage tanks.
