Formaldehyde - Chemical resistance

Methanal

Formaldehyde is a colourless flammable gas with a strong pungent odour. It is a naturally occurring compound that is also produced industrially. It is widely used in a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications, including as a preservative and disinfectant, as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, and as an adhesive in the manufacture of particleboard and other building materials. Formaldehyde is also used in the production of fertilizers, dyes and pharmaceuticals.
