Chemical and industrial uses

  • Resin and plastics production

A key ingredient for making thermosetting resins, including phenolic, urea, and melamine formaldehyde resins. These resins are used in products like particleboard, plywood, glues, and molding powders. 

  • Coatings and paints

Used in the manufacturing of paints, varnishes, and inks. 

  • Adhesives and bonding

Serves as a hardening agent for glues and is used to create bonding resins for applications like abrasives and foundry dyes. 

  • Polyoxymethylene (POM) plastics

A crucial raw material for the preparation of POM plastics, known for their high purity and stable properties. 

 

Biological and medical uses

  • Fixation

Used as a fixative in microscopy and histology to preserve tissue and cells. It is also used to crosslink proteins with DNA in techniques like ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation). 

  • Fumigant

Can be used as a fumigant to disinfect enclosed spaces, such as rooms in hotels or motels. 

Other uses

  • Textile and paper auxiliaries: Used in the manufacture of soluble condensation products and finishing resins for textiles and paper. 
  • Petrochemicals: Utilized in solutions for the petrochemical industry. 

Sanitary materials: Used in the production of sanitary materials.
