Glyoxylic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Oxoacetic Acid
Glyoxylic acid is an organic intermediate used in synthesis, speciality formulations and selected personal-care, pharmaceutical and resin routes. It combines aldehyde and carboxylic-acid functionality, making the material useful where a reactive two-carbon oxo-acid is required.
Commercial requirements may call for an aqueous solution or a grade with tighter colour and impurity control. The quotation should identify the required concentration, water content, oxalic-acid and glyoxal limits, appearance and any process-specific documentation needed by the receiving plant.
Glyoxylic acid is distinct from glycolic acid, which is a hydroxy acid, and from glyoxal, which is a dialdehyde. Keeping those identities separate matters because their reactivity, assay basis, handling and downstream process use are different.
Send the intended synthesis or formulation route, concentration, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed against the selected glyoxylic acid grade before quotation.

Common questions about glyoxylic acid
What is glyoxylic acid used for?
Glyoxylic acid is used as a reactive organic intermediate in pharmaceutical, personal-care, fine-chemical, resin and selected textile-treatment chemistry.
Is glyoxylic acid the same as glycolic acid?
No. Glyoxylic acid contains aldehyde and carboxylic-acid functionality, while glycolic acid is a hydroxy acid. They should be specified and ordered separately.
Is glyoxylic acid the same as glyoxal?
No. Glyoxal is a dialdehyde, whereas glyoxylic acid is an oxo carboxylic acid. The different identities require separate grade and impurity specifications.
Should I request a solution or solid form?
State the process concentration, water tolerance, dosing method and downstream reaction requirements. The suitable commercial form can then be checked with the quotation.
Which quality details should be included in an enquiry?
Include acid concentration, colour, oxalic-acid and glyoxal limits, required documents, quantity, packing preference and the delivery point for the glyoxylic acid.
