:Paraformaldehyde
Description:
Paraformaldehyde is a polymeric form of formaldehyde, primarily composed of linear chains of formaldehyde molecules. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and various organic solvents. Paraformaldehyde is known for its strong antiseptic and preservative properties, making it widely used in biological and medical applications, such as tissue fixation and preservation. It has a melting point that varies depending on its molecular weight and degree of polymerization, typically around room temperature. Paraformaldehyde is also utilized in the production of resins, plastics, and as a fumigant. Its chemical structure allows it to undergo various reactions, including polymerization and cross-linking, which are essential in the synthesis of various materials. However, it is important to handle paraformaldehyde with care, as it can release formaldehyde gas, which is a known irritant and potential carcinogen. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.

CAS:<p>Paraformaldehyde is a carcinogenic substance that belongs to the family of heterocyclic compounds. It reacts with water vapor in the air to form formaldehyde, which is responsible for its fluorescence properties. Paraformaldehyde has been used as a probe for DNA and RNA and can be used as an indicator for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The reaction mechanism of paraformaldehyde is not well understood and it has been shown that it reacts with p-hydroxybenzoic acid, polymerase chain, and water vapor. This compound can be found in soybean extract or fetal bovine serum. Paraformaldehyde is usually detected using a plate test or analytical methods such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).</p>Formula:(CH2O)nPurity:90%MinColor and Shape:White Clear Liquid
