RESINS:
The largest use of
Formaldehyde is in the manufauture of synthetic thermosetting resins
based on reaction with Phenols, Cresols, resorcinol, urea, elamine etc.
These Resins are used for manufacture of thermosetting moulding
powders, industrial & decorative laminates, Plywood, Adhesives,
Paints, Plasticizers, Paper, Foundry resins, etc.
DESINFECTION AND FUMIGATION:

resistant, and shrink proof. Formaldehyde and its derivatives also have
applications in dressing and finishing leather goods, fur and hair.
EMBALMING AND PRESERVATION:
Formaldehyde is an
active ingredient for many embalming fluids. Anatomic specimens are
preserved in dilute Formaldehyde solution in laboratories an medical
colleges.
