We are an integral and leading link in the Glutaraldehyde biocide supply chain. SMC Global assures ongoing Glutaraldehyde supply continuity from our warehousing facilities to your doorsteps safely and on-time.
We hold U.S. EPA registrations for Glutaraldehyde and sell it under the brand name Avancid GL®.
What is Glutaraldehyde biocide?
Glutaraldehyde is a versatile, high-performing biocide used for a number of applications including disinfection and sanitation of medical equipment, in pulp and paper manufacturing, in water treatment systems, as a preservative to various water-based products, and in oilfield operations. Glutaraldehyde is readily biodegradable, formaldehyde-free, and non-bioaccumulative. It is fast-acting, non-ionic, non-foaming, and effective over a wide pH range (typically pH 6.5 to 9.0).
SMC Global’s Glutaraldehyde biocide is available with 15%, 25%, 45%, and 50% active concentrations and EPA Registration (AVANCID® GL).

Glutaraldehyde Biocide Applications
Oilfield Operations
Our various EPA registered concentrations of Glutaraldehyde, Avancid GL®, are effective biocide chemistries with a broad spectrum of protection against bacteria, algae and biofilm formation found in oilfield operations including water flood injection water, drilling, drilling muds, completion, workover, fracturing fluids, produced waters, oil and gas pipelines transmission, and produced wells.
Recirculating Cooling Water, Air-Washer Systems, and Waste Water Systems
Glutaraldehyde improves the efficiency of recirculating cooling and closed loop water systems by preventing slime build-up bacteria in the heat transfer systems and other surfaces Glutaraldehyde is also used for the treatment of water in air washers and other recirculating systems to prevent corrosion and the buildup of microbial growth. Glutaraldehyde can also control slime forming bacteria, fungi and algae in service and auxiliary water systems such as fire protection systems; waste water and waste material disposal; in recovery systems such as storage tanks, storage piles and in disposal wells.
Water-Based Coatings
Glutaraldehyde can be used as a preservative in water-based formulations such as paints, adhesives and sealants, household cleaning products and laundry detergents, and building materials as concrete admixtures.
Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing
Glutaraldehyde is used as a slimicide in paper mill process water systems where various types of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and yeast can lead to corrosion of equipment and spots and breaks in the paper. Glutaraldehyde is especially effective in controlling bacterial growth in aqueous pigments and filler for paper and paperboard making.
