About Product
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas with a strong, pungent odor, commonly available in aqueous solution (formalin). It is a key industrial chemical used in the manufacture of resins, plastics, textiles, and disinfectants. Its high reactivity makes it valuable for binding, preserving, and cross-linking purposes. Formaldehyde is also used in the production of construction materials, fertilizers, and personal care products, making it a widely used intermediate in chemical synthesis.
