Rockville, MD -- (SBWire) -- 07/22/2018 --Glyoxal Market: Introduction: Glyoxal is an organic compound that belongs to the aldehyde group and has the chemical formula OCHHO (CAS Number: 107-22-2). Its IUPAC name is Oxaldehyde. It is yellow in color and is available in liquid form at normal temperatures and is highly reactive in nature. Glyoxal can be prepared by oxidizing ethanol or acetaldehyde with nitric. Glyoxal, owing to its versatile properties, is widely employed in various applications and as an intermediate in several industries, such as oil & gas, packaging, paper and textile & leather industries, along with oil & gas industries. Owing to its low moisture retention characteristic, glyoxal is also used in food packaging and paper manufacturing. In the textile industry, glyoxal is used as a cross-linking agent with cellulose to avoid cellulose swelling, thereby enhancing product quality and resulting in soft and wrinkle-free textiles. In the oil & gas industry, glyoxal is an important chemical intermediate that enhances oil recovering and an efficient solution for scavenging applications, such as sulfide scavenging in gas sweetening, etc. Furthermore, according to the OECD guidelines, glyoxal is considered to be an environment-friendly compound owing to its biodegradable nature.

Glyoxal Market: Market Dynamics

The glyoxal Market is expected to witness significant growth in near future. The boom in demand for glyoxal from various end-use industry, such as textile, oil & gas, paper and packaging, is expected to be one of the key drivers set to augment the market in the near future. Furthermore, owing to increasing environmental concerns and increasing preference for paper packaging over polymer food packaging are the two factors expected to drive the growth of glyoxal market over the forecast period.

Besides known applications, glyoxal will show significant potential for new applications, some of which are still in the early stages of development. For instance, glycol shows high potential in the substitution of aldehydes, e.g. formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. Further, prominent players are investing in research and development activities. For example, BASF is working on formulating a Glyoxal disinfect for co-biocide applications.
