Description :

Overview of Paraformaldehyde

Paraformaldehyde is a widely used polymeric form of formaldehyde, supplied as a solid and primarily utilised in resins, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically, Paraformaldehyde is represented by the repeating unit (CH₂O)ₙ, making it a polymerised version of formaldehyde. The paraformaldehyde molecular weight varies depending on the degree of polymerisation, typically ranging between 450-3000 g/mol.

From a structural perspective, the paraformaldehyde structure consists of linear chains of formaldehyde units linked through oxygen bridges. It appears as a white crystalline powder or granules with a mild formaldehyde odour. When heated, Paraformaldehyde depolymerises, releasing formaldehyde gas instead of exhibiting a true paraformaldehyde boiling point. It is identified in industrial and regulatory documentation by the paraformaldehyde CAS number 30525-89-4.

Due to its stability, ease of handling, and controlled formaldehyde release, paraformaldehyde uses are predominantly industrial. ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Paraformaldehyde with controlled polymer length, consistent quality, and reliable performance. Each batch is supported with complete documentation, including paraformaldehyde MSDS, COA, and technical data sheets.
