Paraformaldehyde

Paraformaldehyde is a white, crystalline solid that consists of polymerized formaldehyde and is commonly used as a source of formaldehyde in various applications. It typically contains 90-99% formaldehyde and is available in powder or granular form. Paraformaldehyde is widely utilized in the production of resins, including phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and melamine-formaldehyde resins, which are essential for manufacturing adhesives, coatings, and molded products.

Additionally, it is used as a disinfectant, fungicide, and fixative in laboratories and medical settings. Due to its solid state, paraformaldehyde is more stable and easier to handle and store compared to liquid formaldehyde solutions. It releases formaldehyde gas upon heating or dissolution in water, making it a versatile and effective chemical in various industrial and scientific applications.
