Formaldehyde CAS 50-00-0 is a colorless aqueous solution or gas with a pungent odor, easily soluble in water and ether, and is a disinfectant preservative. Clinically, it is mainly used for disinfection of inanimate objects, specimen fixation, and cadaver preservation. And do you know what else usages of formaldehyde? Let’s probe into it.
【Use 1】
It is a strong reducing agent, has a bactericidal effect, can be used as a disinfectant for humans, and can be used as an antiseptic and fumigant for animals.
【Use 2】
Used as organic chemical raw materials, used in medicine, synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, plastic preservatives, reducing agents, etc.
【Use 3】
Used as chromatographic analysis, bactericidal and disinfectant, also used for phenolic resin preparation and biological specimen dipping
【Use 4】
Mainly used for the preparation of phenolic, urea-formaldehyde, melamine, and polyoxymethylene resins, and also for the preparation of MDI, pentaerythritol, urotropine, butanediol, etc.
【Use 5】
The aqueous solution is a disinfectant preservative; a fumigant. It has a strong bactericidal effect and is effective against both spores and viruses. Using 2% formalin can be used for disinfection of instruments and gloves (soaking for 1-2 hours), and indoor use of 1-2ml/m3 formalin and a small amount of potassium permanganate crystals can produce formaldehyde vapor disinfection.
【Use 6】
Used for tanning fur, fixing casein finish, disinfection of raw material hide warehouse. It should be stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse. The container should be sealed, and it should not be too cold or overheated. Wear masks, glasses, gloves, and other protective equipment when using.
【Use 7】
As a green feed additive.
【Use 8】
Formaldehyde is an important raw material for pesticides. It can be used to prepare triazolone, insecticides phorate, bifenthrin, pyridaben, vegetable & fruit phosphorus, herbicides chlorfenapyr, alachlor, acetochlor, butachlor, metolachlor, glyphosate, plant growth regulators, paclobutrazol, and other products.
【Use 9】
Formaldehyde is one of the most important derivatives of methanol, accounting for 40% of methanol consumption. -Urea-formaldehyde resin 46%, phenolic resin 9%, pentaerythritol 8%, melamine resin 6%, polyoxymethylene 6%, 1,4-butanediol 5%, trihydroxypropane 3%, urotropine 3%, MDI 2%, others 12%. Formaldehyde is mainly used in the production of urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, pentaerythritol, urotropine, etc., and is used in light industry, textile, medicine, electromechanical, chemical, building materials, oilfield development, wood processing, and other departments, of which chemical consumption accounts for about half.
【Use 10】
Analytical determination of ammonium salts and amino acids, fixatives, disinfectants, bactericides, reducing agents for various preparations in microscopic analysis.
In addition to the above-mentioned main uses, formaldehyde itself as a fine chemical and as a raw material for fine chemicals is widely used in fields. For example, as a kind of disinfectant and preservative, formaldehyde has a strong killing effect on insects and bacteria.
