formaldehydiksi
Formaldehyde, also known as methanal, is the simplest member of the aldehyde family (chemical formula CH2O). It is a colorless gas with a pungent odor at room temperature and is highly soluble in water, forming formalin, a common 37% aqueous solution used as a preservative and disinfectant. In solution it can polymerize, so stabilizers such as methanol are often added in commercial products.
Industrial production is mainly by catalytic oxidation of methanol, using silver or metal oxide catalysts, to
Uses of formaldehyde are broad and include the manufacture of resins such as phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and
Safety and regulation: Formaldehyde is toxic and can irritate eyes, skin, and the respiratory tract. Prolonged
