Glyoxylic Acid is used as a key intermediate in the Pharma or Agro industries. Clariant customers use Glyoxylic Acid in the manufacturing of synthetic Vanillin and ethyl Vanillin, in the syntheses of widely used antibiotic, Amoxycillin and as a starting material for the synthesis of iron chelates, a product group used as micronutrient in the Agro industry. Generally, Glyoxylic Acid - because of its bi-functionality - is a versatile reagent in organic and fine chemicals syntheses.
Clariant uses considerable amounts of its Glyoxylic Acid production for downstream chemistry into building blocks for the Agro-, Pharma and Fine Chemical industries.
Commercially available Glyoxylic Acid is a 50% active aqueous solution and comes in different packages.
