Glyoxylic Acid, chemically known as oxoacetic acid or 2-oxoacetic acid (CAS 563-96-2), is a bifunctional organic compound possessing both an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid group. This unique chemical structure makes it a highly reactive and versatile intermediate, essential for numerous industrial applications. While often encountered as an aqueous solution, our company specializes in providing Glyoxylic Acid Monohydrate in a high-purity powder form, offering distinct advantages for handling, storage, and synthesis.

The physical properties of our Glyoxylic Acid Monohydrate are crucial for its industrial utility. As a white crystalline powder, it is easier to handle and dose compared to liquid forms. Its specifications indicate minimal levels of impurities such as glyoxal, formic acid, maleic acid, oxalic acid, and heavy metals, which is a significant benefit for downstream processes. This high purity leads to more efficient reactions, improved product quality, and reduced risk of unwanted side reactions, a key factor for manufacturers looking to buy high-quality chemical intermediates. Its solubility in water and slight solubility in ethanol, while being insoluble in esters and aromatic solvents, dictates its use in specific solvent systems.

Safety and handling are paramount when working with any chemical intermediate. Glyoxylic Acid is classified as corrosive, and proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection, are essential. Our product documentation provides detailed safety information, adhering to UN3261 Class 8 PG II classifications. Storage should be in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. As a responsible supplier, we ensure that all safety data sheets (SDS) are readily available, providing comprehensive guidance for safe handling and emergency procedures.

The applications of Glyoxylic Acid are broad and impactful. In the flavor industry, it is a key precursor for vanillin and ethyl vanillin. The pharmaceutical sector relies on it for synthesizing various APIs, including atenolol and amoxicillin. It also finds extensive use in the production of dyes, plastics, agrochemicals, and allantoin, among other specialty chemicals. For industries seeking a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Glyoxylic Acid, understanding these properties and applications is key. We are committed to providing consistent quality and supporting our clients with their sourcing needs.
