Formaldehyde Solution – Essential Industrial Chemical For Resins, Preservatives, And Textiles – High Purity And Reliable Supply

Key Specifications:

• Chemical Formula: CH₂O
• Molecular Weight: 30.03 g/mol
• Appearance: Colorless gas (in pure form), often in a water solution called formalin (usually 37% formaldehyde by weight)
• Boiling Point: -19°C (-2°F) in gaseous form
• Solubility: Highly soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar solvents
• Odor: Pungent and irritating

Applications:

• Resins and Plastics: Used in the production of urea-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, and melamine resins, which are utilized in adhesives, particleboards, plywood, and laminates.
• Textiles and Paper: Acts as a finishing agent to improve fabric wrinkle resistance and as a component in paper products to enhance wet strength.
• Preservatives: Employed as a disinfectant and preservative in cosmetics, personal care products, and as an embalming agent in funeral homes.
• Industrial Chemicals: Serves as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals such as pentaerythritol, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), and butanediol.

Safety and Handling:

• Hazards: Formaldehyde is highly toxic and a known carcinogen. It can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and is harmful if ingested or inhaled.
• Precautions: Use appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and respirators. Ensure proper ventilation in areas where formaldehyde is used. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat or open flames.

Packaging Options:

• Drums: 200-liter drums
• IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers): 1000-liter containers
• Bulk Tanks: For large-scale industrial supply
