Glutaraldehyde (CAS 111-30-8, C5H8O2) is a dialdehyde produced via oxidation of 1,5-pentanediol. The J&K 50 wt.% aqueous solution serves as a potent cross-linking agent and disinfectant in industrial synthesis.
Strictly avoid direct skin contact due to severe irritation; use PPE including acid-resistant gloves. Store in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers to prevent polymerization.
