Glyoxal CAS: 107-22-2

Introduction:

Versatile Crosslinker

Glyoxal links a wide range of polymers, e.g. starch, cellulose, proteinaceous material, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohols.

Glyoxal 40: Biodegradability

Glyoxal 40 sds is readily biodegradable by showing more than 90 % decrease of dissolved organic carbon according to OECD guidelines 301 C-E and 303 A.

Appropriate for Food Packaging

Glyoxal is listed as an accredited chemical substance in the production of paper for food packaging by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Germany, and by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S.

Substitution Potential
