Applications

• Formaldehyde is widely used in the manufacture of amino and phenolic resins, slow-release fertilizer, and metal homopolymers.
• It is used in the form of anhydrous monomers, solution polymers, and derivatives. Due to relatively low cost, high purity, and variety of chemical reactions Formaldehyde have become one of the most important industrial and research chemical.
• Formaldehyde is also used for the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde which is used in a wood products for plywood, particle boards, etc. It is used as a chemical ground in foundations, used in water-based coatings, and as moisture resistance in the paper.
• Formaldehyde is used with Phenol to make Phenol Formaldehyde resin which is used in wood composite plywood, partial board, fiberboard, fiber bonding, laminates, foundry resins, abrasive and friction materials, molding materials, coatings, and adhesives. New developments are in the use of glass-reinforced phenolic fibers, phenolic foams, and graphite-reinforced composite.
• Formaldehyde with Urea forms UF resins which are used as a slow-release fertilizer. UF containing 35-38% N are products of condensate Urea and Formaldehyde. Though only 50% of their nitrogen is available for crops, it does provide slow-release non-burning nitrogen.
• Formaldehyde is used with soap as disinfectants. Formaldehyde in hydro-alcoholic solution is used widely for the sterilization of surgical goods.
• Formaldehyde is used as a preservative in cosmetic products so as to have effectiveness against a wide range of microorganisms.
• Formaldehyde is used as a preservative in hair shampoo up to 0.04 wt.%. The shampoo composition in general presents an ideal environment for the propagation of microorganisms and fungal attacks. This has a deleterious effect on the physical properties of the shampoo, but more importantly, poses a health hazard to the consumer.
• Formaldehyde is used in the manufacture of chelating agents like EDTA.
• It is used for the manufacture of permanent press-finished cellulosic fabrics.
• Formaldehyde with melamine forms melamine-formaldehyde resins which finds excellent use in the manufacture of dining table waves like bowls, dishes, spoon, etc.
• Formaldehyde is used in the manufacturing of phenolic resins, artificial silk, and cellulose esters, dyes, organic chemicals, glass mirrors, explosives; disinfectants for dwellings, ships, storage houses, utensils, clothes, etc., as a germicide & fungicide for plants & vegetables, improving fastness of dyes on fabrics, tanning & preserving hides, waterproofing of fabrics, preserving & coagulating rubber latex, and as embalming fluids.
• Formaldehyde is used in the manufacture of explosives, photographic materials, antiseptic and fumigants, in treatment of pulp & papers, in cosmetics, fertilizers & fuels, in treatment of fur & hair, mouth wash, germicidal soap, lavender water & cologne, in sterilization of surgical instruments and as a food preservative.
