Glyoxal Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Glyoxal as an Intermediate and Crosslinkers
- Glyoxal has been increasingly used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and dyestuffs. The ability of glyoxal to form heterocyclic compounds makes it suitable for the production of resins and for cross-linking functionalized macromolecules such as cellulose, polyacrylamides, polyvinyl alcohol, keratin, and other polycondensates.
- Owing to its viscosity characteristics, glyoxal also has been used in cosmetics. Cosmetic products use hydroxyl-ethyl cellulose R-types in creams, emulsions, lotions, gels, and oils for skin, face masks, tinted bases, different powders, hair-care products, shaving, and sunbathing products.
- According to Cosmetic Europe, European Cosmetics have generated a revenue of 79.8 billion EUR in the year 2019, where Germany holding a share of 35% accounting for around 14 billion EUR.
