Product Description
Glyoxylic Acid, also Oxoacetic Acid, or Glyoxalic acid is the simplest aldehydic acid. Its formula is C2H2O3. Same as glycolic acid, it is one of carboxylic acids. In 1856,HENRY DEBUS, Ph.D. discovered glyoxylic acid. In 1868, Perkin found of glyoxylic acid monohydrate.
Commercial Product
In commercial Glyoxylic Acid 50% aqueous solutions is predominantly in non-volatile hydrated and oligomeric forms.
Based on offering the smallest possible bifunctional entity, Glyoxylic Acid has wide uses in aliphatic, aromatic molecules and heterocycles.
It has a wide variety of applications: as key intermediate in the pharma or agro industries, flavors and fragrances, dyestuff and fine chemicals, cosmetics as in hair straightening formulations.
Manufacturing Processes
Glyoxalic acid industrial manufacture process is by Nitric Acid oxidation of Glyoxal and also by oxidative cleaveage of maleic acid methyl ester by ozone.
Huashihang Chemical Co.,Ltd Glyoxylic Acid material is Glyoxal or Ozone. Glyoxal 40% is from Ethylene Glycol.
