Which grade is suitable for you?
Glyoxylic Acid 50% solution has grades including glyoxal 1.5%, 1%,0.5%,0.25%,0.1%,oxalic acid 1.5%,1%,0.5%,0.25%.
It is hard for clients to choose which grade at first. It is always related with producing cost, application and formula, even local policy.
Strictly, it is ok for all grades on different applications.
For glyoxal 1.5%max,oxalic acid 1.5%max, it is our one customer who uses on agriculture pesticide.
The normal grade is glyoxal 1%max,oxalic acid 1%max. It is fist choose for most customers.
The chelating grade (fertilizer grade) is glyoxal 0.5%max,oxalic acid 1%max or 0.5%max. Only a few users choose glyoxal 0.25%max,oxalic acid 0.25%max.
The main use are micro elements and hair care products.
The cosmetic grade glyoxylic acid is glyoxal 0.1%max, oxalic acid 0.5%,color 100. They use it on hair cosmetics and fragrance.
