Technical Information

Paraformaldehyde is a polymer typically found in small granules or white powder form. It serves as a solid version of liquid or gaseous formaldehyde, making it especially convenient for chemical manufacturing, transport, and storage.

While it is classified as a hazardous material—similar to liquid formaldehyde—paraformaldehyde is less volatile, easier to handle, and safer under certain conditions. One key benefit is its gradual release of formaldehyde, allowing more precise control over various manufacturing processes.

In addition to its extensive industrial uses, paraformaldehyde is also widely employed in medicine and research. Its unique tissue-fixing properties—created by forming cross-links between proteins in tissue cells—make it an essential tool for preservation and scientific research.
