Industrial Grade PFA Polyoxymethylene Granules Slight Odor

Paraformaldehyde 96%Min Powder Industrial Grade Polyoxymethylene Granules

Introduction

Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the smallest polyoxymethylene, the polymerization product of formaldehyde with a typical degree of polymerization of 8–100 units. Paraformaldehyde commonly has a slight odor of formaldehyde due to decomposition. Paraformaldehyde is a poly-acetal.

Paraformaldehyde forms slowly in aqueous formaldehyde solutions as a white precipitate,especially if stored in the cold. Formalin actually contains very little monomeric formaldehyde; most of it forms short chains of polyformaldehyde. A small amount of methanol is often added as a stabilizer to limit the extent of polymerization.

Parameter

Application

Paraformaldehyde used as a fumigant, disinfectant, fungicide, and fixative.
Paraformaldehyde can be used as a substitute of aqueous formaldehyde to produce the resinous binding material, which is commonly used together with melamine, phenol or other reactive agents in the manufacturing of particle board, medium density fiberboard and plywood.
