Formaldehyde - Upstream Downstream Industry
Formaldehyde - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
colorless transparent liquid. It can be freely miscible with water, ethanol and acetone. In the air can be gradually oxidized to formic acid, is a strong reducing agent. Its vapor and air to form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat caused by combustion explosion. In general commercial products, 10% to 12% of methanol is added as an inhibitor, otherwise polymerization will occur.
