Short Description:

1. Product Characteristics: Formaldehyde is a colorless liquid, easily polymerized, and readily soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. It is rapidly oxidized to formic acid in air, acting as a strong reducing agent. Its boiling point is -19℃, freezing point -118℃, and relative density to air is 1.067. Commercially, it is supplied in liquid form as formalin, a 37-50% formaldehyde solution with a small amount of methanol added as a polymerization inhibitor. The solution is milky white and has a foul odor. Formalin readily vaporizes, releasing formaldehyde gas. Its boiling point is 96℃, relative density is 0.815/-20℃, and flash point is 55℃.
