Paraformaldehyde is a polymer form of formaldehyde. It can be used for the same applications as aqueous formaldehyde solutions. The main advantage of using Paraformaldehyde is that, it can be converted to varied concentrations of formaldehyde as per the requirement like higher concentration in the manufacture of resins with high solids content. It is mainly used to manufacture various types of resins such as amino resins (UF, MUF, MF resins), phenolic resins etc.
