Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Internal study performed according to the dynamic methods described by OECD 104.

Results obtained were:
4 kPa at 36.9°C
8 kPa at 50.6°C
30 kPa at 79.3°C
50 kPa at 90.8°C


From these results, vapour pressure was calculated to be:
1.4 kPa at 20 °C
1.9 kPa at 25 °C

68.1 kPa at 100 °C

The measure is related to the Vapour Pressure of Water; indeed, glyoxylic acid as free acid gaz is not detectable at ambient temperature and under atmospheric pressure. Glyoxylic acid oligomerize when solution is concentrated and decomposes when heating at temperature above 150°C with loss of carbonic acid and water.


Executive summary:

The vapor pressure of Glyoxylic Acid 50% at 20°C is 14 hPa.

Description of key information

The vapor pressure of Glyoxylic Acid 50% at 20°C is 14 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
1 400 Pa
at the temperature of:
293 K
