Pure glyoxal is not commonly encountered as Glyoxal forms hydrates that oligomerize. For many purposes, these hydrated oligomers behave equally with glyoxal. Glyoxal is produced industrially as its primary precursor. Anhydrous glyoxal is a liquid at ambient temperature; It crystallizes in the form of yellow prismatic crystals at 15 ° C. Glyoxal Anhydrous can only be made in a laboratory and is not available in a stable form. Glyoxal is commonly supplied in the form of a 40% (w / w) (expressed as CHOCHO) aqueous solution. Less concentrated forms were previously commercialized (essentially 30% w / w). Glyoxal is produced in very small quantities of 80% powder (less than 0.1% of marketed quantities). Hydrated monomer (ethane bis-gemdiol) is the main form of glyoxal in aqueous solution. However, this gemdiol tends to polymerize into acetals and semi-acetals. Polymerization depends on both the pH and the concentration of the solution.
The main oligomeric forms are dioxolane dimer and bis (dioxolane) trimer. Glyoxal is mainly marketed as a 40% aqueous solution. Glyoxal is used as the starting point for the production of a number of other compounds. Dual functionality and the ability of glyoxal to form heterocyclic compounds are used in resin manufacture and crosslinking functionalized macromolecules such as cellulose, polyacrylamides, polyvinyl alcohol, keratin, and other polycondensates. With cellulose, unstable hemiacetals are obtained which irreversibly form acetal when heated in the cold in the presence of acid catalysts. Annex I of the Cosmetic Directive lists a variety of cosmetic products using hydroxyl-ethyl cellulose R-types (e.g. creams, emulsions, lotions, gels and oils for the skin, face masks, colored bases, different powders (make-up, after bathing), hygienic) , hair care products (colorants, bleaches, cleaning and care products), shaving products, sunbathing, tanning, etc.). The maximum glyoxal level in the cosmetic product is 100 ppm. In finished cosmetic products, glyoxal is only found as leftovers from polymerization reactions.
