¥1100.00
Product Name: Formaldehyde
Chemical Formula: CH₂O
Key Features: Colorless gas at room temperature (typically supplied as 37% aqueous solution), pungent odor, high reactivity, excellent cross-linking agent, strong disinfectant properties.
Main Applications by Industry:
Chemical Synthesis: Primary raw material for producing urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins; also used to produce polyols, pentaerythritol, hexamethylenetetramine, and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI).
Wood Processing: Essential component in adhesives and binders for manufacturing plywood, particleboard, MDF, and other engineered wood products.
Textile Industry: Used as a crease-resistant finishing agent to improve wrinkle recovery and dimensional stability of fabrics.
Agriculture: As a fumigant for soil sterilization, seed treatment, and grain storage preservation; also used in the production of slow-release fertilizers.
Medical & Healthcare: 37% solution (formalin) used as disinfectant, antiseptic, and tissue preservative for pathological specimens and embalming.
Leather Tanning: As a tanning agent and preservative in leather processing.
Oil & Gas Drilling: Used as a biocide to control bacterial growth in drilling fluids and fracturing fluids.
Paper Industry: As a wet strength resin additive to improve the durability and tear resistance of paper products.
Paint & Coatings: As a raw material in the production of various synthetic resins used in paints, varnishes, and lacquers.
Handling & Safety:
Toxic and carcinogenic (known human carcinogen). Causes respiratory irritation, skin sensitization, and eye damage. Use adequate ventilation, respirators, and impermeable gloves. Handle in enclosed systems where possible. Strict compliance with exposure limits required.
