Formulations/Preparations: •pure formaldehyde is not avail commercially because of its tendency to polymerize. it is sold as aqueous solutions containing from 37% to 50% formaldehyde by wt & varying amounts of methanol. •marketed under the trade name formcel, soln in methanol, n-butanol, and isobutanol. ... •aq formaldehyde, known as formalin, is usually 37% by weight of formaldehyde, though more concn soln are available. formalin is the general-purpose formaldehyde of commerce supplied unstabilized or methanol-stabilized. formaldehyde may also exist in the form of the cyclic trimer trioxane. this is a fairly stable cmpd that does not easily release formaldehyde. ... •grade: aqueous solutions: 37%, 44%, 50% inhibited (with varying percentages of methanol) or stabilized or unstabilized (methanol-free), also available in solution in n-butanol, ethanol, or urea; usp (37% aqueous solution containing methanol). •soluble concentrate; hot fogging concentrate •formaldehyde is available in the united states as as paraformaldehyde. paraformaldehyde is available as a powdered or flaked product that contains the equivalent of 90-93% formaldehyde, a maximum of 9% water, and a maximum of 0.03% acidity as formic acid. it is readily soluble in hot water with the evolution of formaldehyde vapors ... •formalin consists of an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, usually containing about 37% formaldehyde and 12-15% methanol. formalin
