Product information
Glutaraldehyde is a five-carbon dialdehyde used as a reactive chemical and biocidal active substance in a number of controlled industrial and laboratory applications. Its two aldehyde groups give it strong reactivity with functional groups in proteins and other materials.
Commercial glutaraldehyde is frequently supplied as an aqueous solution rather than as neat material. Because concentration substantially affects appearance, hazard classification, handling and end-use suitability, Hamara should confirm the supplied concentration before any product-grade or safety information is published.

General guidance
Handling and storage
Glutaraldehyde SDS requirements depend strongly on solution concentration. Supplier SDSs for aqueous products call for effective ventilation, avoidance of skin and eye exposure, suitable protective equipment and tightly closed storage under specified conditions. The Hamara product concentration must be confirmed before adopting exact storage language. This summary is general information and does not replace the current SDS.
