Glyoxal is an all-rounder in linking and masking nucleophiles like:
- hydroxy groups
- amino groups
- amides
|
- sulfides
- mercaptanes
- sulfites
|
Especially as a crosslinker and scavenger, glyoxal shows innovation potential in the following fields:
| Crosslinking |
Scavenging |
- Glyoxal alters the physico-chemical properties of polymers, e.g. leads to:
- An increase in viscosity of the polymer solutions
- A decrease in water uptake of the polymer
- Similar reaction characteristics as formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde
- Substitution potential for aldehydes
- High reactivity of towards alcohols and amines and biofunctional nature
- Excellent crosslinker for polymers
|
- Ability to bind nucleophiles like sulfur-containing compounds
- Applied in oil and gas applications
