Paraformaldehyde | Specifications, Price & Supply 

Paraformaldehyde is a high-purity solid polymer of formaldehyde, supplied in white powder or granular form. It is widely used as a stable source of formaldehyde in chemical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and resin manufacturing industries. Due to its solid form, Paraformaldehyde offers safer handling, easier transportation, and longer shelf life compared to liquid formalin.

What is Paraformaldehyde?

Paraformaldehyde is produced through the polymerization of formaldehyde. Under specific conditions, it gradually depolymerizes and releases formaldehyde, making it ideal for applications requiring controlled and precise formaldehyde release.
