Description
A strong smelling gas sold commercially as a 25% aqueous solution. Glutaraldehyde polymerizes in water to form a clear viscous liquid. It is used as a biocide which acts by disrupting the cells of Lichen, mold, bacteria, and fungi by alkylating and crosslinking the proteins. Glutaraldehyde is also used as a synthetic tanning agent for leathers.
Synonyms and Related Terms
glutaric dialdehyde; 1,5-pentanedial; glutaral; 1,3-diformylpropane; Cidex; Glutarol; Novaruca; Verucasep; Ucaricide
