Report Description<br />
<strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong> is an organic compound widely used as disinfectant and as preservative.<br />
It is a colorless and slimy liquid, commonly available in aqueous solution. <strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong><br />
solutions commonly contain about 1% to 2% glutaraldehyde in it. <strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong> is<br />
usually manufactured industrially by oxidizing cyclopentane or by reacting methyl vinyl<br />
ether and acrolein followed by hydrolysis of the compound. The chemical is used in<br />
different applications but its primary application is as a disinfectant or cold sterilant for<br />
medical dental and surgical equipments.<br />
All medically invasive procedures require sterilization of the equipments in order to rule<br />
out any chances of infection resulting from contaminated equipments. <strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong><br />
solution is extensively used in the medical and health care industry to cold sterilize the<br />
equipments prior to any surgical procedure. Some of the medical equipment sterilizing<br />
products that contain glutaraldehyde as an active ingredient are Hospex, Glutarex, Cidex,<br />
Aldesen and Soniacide among many others. Apart from its use in medical device<br />
sterilization it is also used as a fixative agent for tissues. Tissue fixation comprise of two<br />
steps: killing the normal function of the tissue and stabilizing the structure of the tissue.<br />
<strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong> cross links the protein of the cells and helps to kill the cells quickly. This<br />
completes the first step of tissue fixation. Apart from that glutaraldehyde is also<br />
employed as a hardening or cross linking agent to reduce the drying cycle in X-Ray film<br />
processing. This application is not only wide spread in the medical industry but has found<br />
application in some engineering applications as well.

<strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong> is also used as a chemical for the treatment of water in cooling towers,<br />
water recirculating systems and air washers in order to control and eliminate microbial<br />
growth in the systems as well as prevent corrosion. It also finds significant application in<br />
off-shore applications, where it is added to sea-water in order to prevent attack from<br />
certain sulfate reducing micro organisms which cause corrosion. <strong>Glutaraldehyde</strong> is also<br />
used as 9industrial cleaning agents particularly in food and beverage industry and<br />
tobacco industry. It is also present in the general retail cleaners in small quantities. Owing<br />
to its good disinfecting property highly concentrated solution of glutaraldehyde is used in<br />
the paper manufacturing industry to inhibit the growth of micro organisms in paper<br />
pulps. The disinfectant also finds application in several other industries such as<br />
aquaculture, leather tanning, cosmetics, and animal healthcare.<br />
In spite of the compound’s wide spread application its high toxicity and environmentally<br />
hazardous nature is a major restraint for growth. The chemical is highly regulated owing<br />
to the health risk it poses. Even 1% solution of glutaraldehyde is poisonous for human<br />
and animals alike and any product containing more than 0.1% glutaraldehyde solution is<br />
labeled hazardous. The common ways of poisoning include contact with skin or<br />
inhalation of fumes. High level of precaution needs to be undertaken in order to reduce<br />
occupational as well as environmental exposure to glutaraldehyde, which is a costly affair<br />
for the market players. Due to these concerns, efforts have been undertaken to reduce<br />
dependency on glutaraldehyde and find suitable substitutions.

The largest demand for glutaraldehyde is derived from Europe followed by North America<br />
and Asia Pacific regions. However the demand is expected to slow down in Europe and<br />
pick up in Asia Pacific region lead by China and India.<br />
Some of the major companies operating in this market are BASF SE, Dow Chemicals, and<br />
Union Carbide Corporation among many others.<br />
