Genuine Glutaraldehyde
The LANXESS Genuine Glutaraldehyde sticker confirms that all packaged Glutaraldehyde products bearing a LANXESS EUP label that are shipped from our manufacturing facility in Institute, West Virginia will have a sticker affixed that confirms our product quality as “LANXESS Genuine Glutaraldehyde”.
With this sticker LANXESS would like to provide a “quality assurance” and help customers differentiate our products from other counterfeit, low grade glute Glutaraldehyde products.
Frequently, counterfeit products simply contain a lower concentration of active ingredient and/or altered pH, both of which diminish the product’s microbial control performance. However, it is not uncommon to find adulterants such as formaldehyde and/or glyoxal are also present at detectable levels. (Neither formaldehyde or glyoxal can be produced as a natural part of the glute manufacturing process AND both present elevated health risks for handlers). These findings have been well documented via multiple sample studies performed by LANXESS technology team on competitors’ products taken from 40+ separate locations across 14 countries.
Genuine Glutaraldehyde is the quality product you should buy in order so save costs in the long run.
- Same level of Microbial Control with half the amount of product
- Stable amount of active ingredient over time
