Glutaraldehyde is acclaimed as the third milestone in the history of chemical disinfectants and sterilants, following formaldehyde and ethylene oxide. As the stock solution for producing a series of glutaraldehyde-based bactericides, this product features low methanol content, is non-mutagenic and non-cumulatively toxic, and is widely used in disinfection, sterilization, pharmaceuticals, and other industries. Pharmaceutical-grade glutaraldehyde differs from products for other industrial uses, with strict controls on impurities such as methanol and heavy metal content. The product is a colorless, transparent oily liquid with a slightly pungent, peculiar odor reminiscent of spoiled fruit; it is easily soluble in water (miscible) and in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It is primarily used in medical disinfectants, bactericides for animal husbandry and aquaculture, and in the production of photographic film.
