Description
Formaldehyde solution 37% is a colorless, pungent liquid that is widely used in various industrial and laboratory applications. It is primarily utilized as a preservative and disinfectant due to its strong antimicrobial properties. In histology and pathology, it serves as a tissue fixative, preserving biological samples for microscopic examination. Additionally, formaldehyde is a key ingredient in the production of resins, such as urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde, which are used in the manufacturing of plastics, adhesives, and coatings. The solution is typically stabilized with methanol to prevent polymerization and ensure its effectiveness. Safety precautions are essential when handling formaldehyde, as it is a known irritant and potential carcinogen.
