Commentaires

Le glutaraldéhyde est très rarement vendu ou utilisé sous forme pure. Généralement, on le trouve en solution aqueuse dont la concentration varie entre 1 et 50 %. Ces solutions commerciales contiennent habituellement un stabilisant en faible concentration (ex. méthanol, entre 0,05 et 0,5 %), pour ralentir la polymérisation graduelle du glutaraldéhyde.

Utilisation et sources d'émission

Le glutaraldéhyde est utilisé dans les secteurs médical et dentaire

  • comme agent désinfectant (les solutions aqueuses à 2 % sont utilisées pour la stérilisation à froid des instruments)
  • dans les solutions de développement de films de rayons -X  (solutions aqueuses 0,5 à 1 %)
  • comme fixateur de matériel biologique (solutions aqueuses de 3 % à 8 %)
  • comme agent thérapeutique (solutions aqueuses à 2 %, 10 % et 25 % utilisées dans le traitement contre la transpiration excessive, les infections fongiques, les verrues).

Il est également utilisé dans le secteur industriel

  • comme agent de tannage du cuir
  • comme agent de conservation en thanatopraxie (embaumement)
  • comme intermédiaire chimique de la fabrication des adhésifs et de matériel électrique
  • comme biocide dans les boues de forage, les conduites d'huile et de gaz ainsi que dans les procédés de traitements des eaux de refroidissement industrielles
  • comme agent de conservation de plusieurs produits chimiques tels que les adoucisseurs et les cosmétiques.
