Over the past decade, counterfeiters have increasingly made and sold products that they claim are glutaraldehyde based, but actually contain other ingredients.
First produced commercially in 1951, glutaraldehyde provides broad efficacy, is readily biodegradable and formaldehyde free, and is also non-carcinogenic, non-
persistent and non-bio-accumulative, which distinguishes it from many other biocides. This versatile microbiocide offers a host of advantages in controlling microbes found in commercial and industrial settings, and its applications are of use to global formulators, manufacturers and end users in the adhesives and sealants industries.
