Industrial and manufacturing applications

  • Resin production

Formaldehyde is a key ingredient in making amino and phenolic resins, which are used in creating plywood, particleboard, and fiberboard. It is also used to create melamine resins for durable goods like dishes and melamine-formaldehyde resins for laminates and coatings. 

  • Chemical synthesis

It serves as a precursor for synthesizing other compounds, including chelating agents like EDTA. 

  • Agriculture

Used to create slow-release fertilizers and as a fungicide and bactericide in industries like sugar beet refining and oil and gas production. 

  • Textiles

Used in finishing cellulosic fabrics to create a “permanent press” effect. 

Preservation and laboratory applications

  • Tissue fixation: Widely used in laboratories for preserving biological tissues for histology, microscopy, and anatomical studies. 
  • Disinfectant: Applied as a disinfectant and sterilization agent. 
  • Preservative: Used as a preservative in some cosmetics and to prevent mildew in humid areas. 

Other applications

  • Embalming: Used in embalming fluids for preserving anatomical specimens and for funeral services. 
  • Pharmaceuticals: Can be used in the production of certain pharmaceuticals.
