Glutaraldehyde

Glutaraldehyde is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and polymers. It participates in reactions to form imines, acetals, and other functional derivatives that aid in the production of a variety of chemical compounds.

Glutaraldehyde is toxic and irritates the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon direct contact or inhalation. When handling concentrated solutions, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, should be worn. Used glutaraldehyde solutions require special handling procedures due to their biocidal properties. Prior to disposal, efforts should be made to neutralize or degrade residual glutaraldehyde to minimize environmental impact.
