Since its discovery in the la century, formaldehyde has become an industri importance. It is estimated that production i reached a total of about 2600 million pounds commercial solution in 1963.
Commercially, formaldehyde is marketed chi solutions containing about 36 to 50 per cent b dehyde ( C H 2 0 ) . The standard 37 per cent U. cient methanol (7 to 15 per cent by weight) polymer under ordinary conditions of tran tions containing about 1 per cent methanol formaldehyde are preferred for large-scal such solutions must be kept warm to preve favor the use of these solutions, and new m it possible to maintain solution at relative1
For special purposes, formaldehyde is ha solutions containing urea and melamine an methanol and other low molecular weight a
Commercial forms of formaldehyde also in paraformaldehyde, HO- (CH20) ,.OH. This as a solid form of formaldehyde. Trioxane of formaldehyde is commercially available. are normally manufactured from the aqueous expensive forms. (Chapter 7)
