formaldehydederived
Formaldehydederived refers to substances or materials that have been manufactured using formaldehyde as a precursor or a significant component in their chemical synthesis. Formaldehyde (CH₂O) is a simple organic compound, a gas at room temperature, that is highly reactive and readily polymerizes. Its industrial production is primarily through the catalytic oxidation of methanol.
The applications of formaldehyde-derived products are extensive. It is a key ingredient in the production of
Beyond resins, formaldehyde is a precursor for other chemicals, including polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-strength engineering thermoplastic,
