Product Description
We are a noteworthy manufacturer of Formaldehyde H CHO in the market. It is a strong-smelling, colorless gas used in making building materials and many household products. This Formaldehyde H CHO is used in pressed-wood products, such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard; glues and adhesives; permanent-press fabrics; paper product coatings; and certain insulation materials.
Versatile Applications in Science and IndustryFormaldehyde is widely utilized for the preservation of biological specimens, production of resins, and as a key laboratory reagent. Its reliability and purity make it suitable for chemical synthesis and as a disinfectant in industrial contexts. The liquid form ensures precise dosing and consistent results across varied scientific and manufacturing tasks.
Safety and Storage RecommendationsDue to its classification as both a flammable (Class 3) and corrosive (Class 8) liquid (UN 1198), Formaldehyde should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain stability and ensure safe usage. Proper handling and adherence to recommended storage instructions guarantee a shelf life of up to 24 months.
FAQ's of Formaldehyde H CHO:
Q: How should Formaldehyde (Formalin solution) be stored for optimal stability?
A: Formaldehyde should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, with the container tightly closed. This ensures its stability and preserves its shelf life, which is up to 24 months under recommended conditions.
Q: What are the main laboratory and industrial uses of Formaldehyde?
A: Formaldehyde is commonly deployed as a preservative for biological specimens, a disinfectant, a laboratory reagent, and a precursor in chemical synthesis for resin manufacturing. Its versatility makes it valuable across scientific and industrial applications.
Q: When should additional precautions be taken handling Formaldehyde?
A: Extra precautions are necessary when handling Formaldehyde due to its flammability and corrosive nature. Use appropriate protective equipment and work in well-ventilated areas to minimize exposure to its pungent, irritating odour and vapours.
Q: Where can Formaldehyde be applied in a laboratory setting?
A: Formaldehyde is used in laboratory environments for specimen preservation, disinfection procedures, and as a reagent in chemical experiments. Its miscibility with water, ethanol, and ether enhances its usefulness in diverse laboratory processes.
Q: What is the benefit of using extra pure grade Formaldehyde?
A: Extra pure grade formaldehyde offers a high level of purity (98%), which reduces the risk of contamination in sensitive laboratory, research, or industrial processes, enabling more consistent and reliable results.
Q: How is Formaldehyde delivered and what sizes are available?
A: Formaldehyde is supplied in liquid form (Formalin solution) and packed in bottles or drums. Packaging options include 500 ml, 1 L, and 2.5 L sizes to accommodate different usage requirements.
Q: What does the presence of methanol as a stabilizer imply for users?
A: Methanol is added as a stabilizer in Formalin solutions to prevent polymerization of Formaldehyde. Users should be aware of its presence, follow safety guidelines, and consider methanol in risk assessments during handling or experimentation.
