Paraformaldehyde

Paraformaldehyde is the solid form of liquid formaldehyde, formed by the polymerization of formaldehyde with a typical degree of polymerization of 8-100 units. Since paraformaldehyde is basically a condensed form of formaldehyde, it possesses the same characteristics but with a wider range of applications. Paraformaldehyde is also used to crosslink proteins to DNA, as used in ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) which is a technique to determine which part of DNA certain proteins are binding to. Paraformaldehyde can be used as a substitute of aqueous formaldehyde to produce the resinous binding material, which is commonly used together with melamine, phenol or other reactive agents in the manufacturing of particle board, medium density fiberboard and plywood.  Manufactured  of paraformaldehyde is based on the latest technology to give good solubility,  that is supplied in homogeneous prilled  shape , granular and flake forms  , its  low acid content, makes it  suitable for all ranges of application of paraformaldehyde.
