Paraformaldehyde 92% Prilled
Paraformaldehyde 92% Prilled is the polymerized form of formaldehyde, presenting as a high-purity, white solid. As a versatile source of anhydrous formaldehyde, it is preferred in industrial processes where water content must be strictly limited. The prilled (spherical) form is specifically engineered to improve flow characteristics and reduce dust exposure in the workplace. Moonarc FZCO provides premium-grade Paraformaldehyde to the global market, ensuring consistent reactivity and purity for demanding chemical syntheses.
Applications
- Synthesis of thermosetting resins (phenolic, urea, and melamine resins)
- Production of paints, varnishes, and coating additives
- Intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals (herbicides/fungicides)
- Disinfectant and fumigant in healthcare and organic synthesis
- Fixative in microscopy and histology laboratories
- Cross-linking agent for paper and textile finishing treatments
Industries served

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from incompatible substances (oxidizers, strong acids, and bases). Keep containers tightly closed. Storage temperature should ideally be below 30°C to prevent premature depolymerization. Keep away from ignition sources.
Handling
Use only in well-ventilated areas or under a chemical fume hood. Wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and an approved organic vapor respirator. Avoid dust generation and keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Use spark-proof tools.
