Glyoxal Solution for your Success

BASF Glyoxal Solution

Glyoxal from BASF meets our customers’ needs as a solution. Thus we offer you more than just a product:



  • Reliable Supply


    As the leading player in the glyoxal industry we can reliably satisfy our customers' demand. In addition we are independent from external partners due to our backward-integrated production process of glyoxal. This enables us to control every step in the production of glyoxal to ensure dependable supplies, wherever our customers are.

Production of glyoxal:

Ethylene

In the production of glyoxal, BASF is totally backward-integrated. Glyoxal at BASF is produced from ethylene, which is prepared in the petrochemical industry by steam cracking. Ethylene glycol is finally oxidized in the gas phase to glyoxal, which is used in textile and paper resins or for imidazoles.

  • Logistics and Sales Services


    Whether you need bulk or packaged material, we ensure efficient solutions. Our advice on packaging and dedicated storage facilities as well as our devoted sales representatives guarantee reliable supply to allow you to run your business steadily.
  • Sustainable Development


    We are registering glyoxal in the EU under REACH, and together with BASF's specialist biocide group in our Care Chemicals division we support customers who want to obtain registrations for their biocidal products according to the EU Biocidal Products Directive.
  • Application Expertise


    At BASF we pool our knowledge in the “know-how Verbund” to make our expertise of glyoxal available to our partners. Working together with our customers in successful partnerships will offer mutual benefits. Read more about how we meet our customer's needs:
