Glutaraldehyde Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Pentane-1,5-Dial
- Glutaric Dialdehyde
- Glutaral
Glutaraldehyde supplier for industrial biocide, water-treatment, oilfield and crosslinking buyers in Malaysia. Also called pentane-1,5-dial, glutaric dialdehyde or glutaral, this dialdehyde is selected as an aqueous solution for microbial control and as a crosslinking agent in technical processes.
Commercial material is supplied as colourless to pale yellow aqueous liquid. Buyers specify industrial biocide, water-treatment or oilfield process grades, or a crosslinking and tanning grade, with the working concentration confirmed against the enquiry rather than assumed on the page.
Water-treatment and oil-and-gas programmes use glutaraldehyde as a process biocide. Cleaning formulators may select it for industrial disinfection bases, while manufacturing users apply it in protein or polymer crosslinking and leather tanning where the dialdehyde is named on the bill of materials.
Send the required concentration or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about glutaraldehyde
What is glutaraldehyde, and is it the same as formaldehyde?
Glutaraldehyde is a five-carbon dialdehyde, also known as pentane-1,5-dial, glutaric dialdehyde or glutaral. It is not the same chemical as formaldehyde or formalin, and it should not be substituted for those materials without a separate specification review. State the required concentration and end use in the enquiry.
Which glutaraldehyde grade or concentration should I request?
Commercial material is normally supplied as an aqueous solution. Industrial biocide, water-treatment, oilfield and crosslinking uses each specify their own working strength. Send the assay or concentration on your bill of materials, plus the application, so the quotation can match the requirement.
Is glutaraldehyde used as a biocide in water treatment and oilfield work?
Yes. Buyers commonly request glutaraldehyde for industrial water-treatment programmes, cooling and process water, and oilfield or process biocide duty. Suitability depends on the system, dose rate and required specification, so describe those details when you enquire.
Can glutaraldehyde be used for crosslinking or leather tanning?
Suitable grades are used as crosslinking agents for proteins and selected polymers, and in leather tanning processes that call for glutaraldehyde. State the process, target concentration and any specification limits so the offer can address the technical requirement.
What packing and documentation can be requested?
List the preferred pack format and required product documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed for the quoted grade with the offer.
What details are needed for a glutaraldehyde price enquiry?
Provide the concentration or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any documents you need so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
