Paraformaldehyde Also Called Polyformaldehyde, Acetal, Or Solid
Formaldehyde
1. Description
Paraformaldehyde (Paraform (molecular formula ho - (ch2O) n-h,
where n is the degree of polymerization, with an n-value range from
8 to 100), also known as polyformaldehyde, polyformaldehyde,
acetal, or solid formaldehyde, is a white amorphous particle or
powder with a formaldehyde odor, and is a linear polymer of
formaldehyde.
Polyformaldehyde has no fixed melting point and decomposes upon
heating. It has a melting point of 120-170℃ and is easily soluble
in hot water, releasing formaldehyde. It is slowly soluble in cold
water and can dissolve in caustic soda and alkali metal carbonate
solutions. It is insoluble in alcohols and ethers, and highly
polymer insoluble in water. Reactions similar to formaldehyde can
occur, such as chloromethylation and the formation of acetals with
alcohols.
2. Application
It is used for synthesizing resins, adhesives, pharmaceuticals,
fungicides, insecticides, disinfectants, etc.
