Paraformaldehyde (CAS 30525-89-4) is a linear polymer of formaldehyde, typically containing 10 to 100 monomer units. Produced via controlled depolymerization of paraformaldehyde or direct condensation, its molecular formula is (CH₂O)n. It serves as a stable solid source of gaseous formaldehyde in industrial settings.
Strictly avoid inhalation of dust; use respiratory protection. Store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Not approved for direct human clinical application due to toxicity.
