How to detect Formaldehyde
Formula: CH2O | CAS: 50-00-0
Synonyms: formaldehyde, methanal, methyl aldehyde, methylene oxide, formalin
Formaldehyde is normally prepared as a 43% solution in water as formalin. It is used chiefly in the formation of resins used in binding of wood products such as fibreboard, in manufacture of coatings and medicines.
