Glyoxylic acid is used in Cosmetics, hair straightening, flavors and fragrances, agricultural fertilizers, and medicine fields.
1. Used as material for methyl vanillin, and ethyl vanillin in the flavor industry.
2. Used as intermediate for D-hydroxybenzeneglycin, broadspectrum antibiotic, acetophenone, amino acid, etc.
3. Used as intermediate of varnish material, dyes, plastic, agrochemical, allantoin daily-use chemicals, etc. It is popular in the cosmetic industry, for hair dye; hair care products; skin care products, etc.
4. Glyoxylic acid is the material for water purificants and pesticides. It is used as an intermediate of varnish material and dyes.
5. Glyoxylic acid also can be used in the preservation of food, as a crosslinking agent of polymerization, and as a plating additive.
