General description
Paraformaldehyde, a polymerization product of formaldehyde, is used in the polycondensation reaction for the synthesis of thermoset polymers.
Paraformaldehyde is also referred as polyoxymethylene. It participates in the regioselective reductive coupling reactions of dienes, alkynes and allenes in the presence of ruthenium catalyst. It also participates in the synthesis of esters, via alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes.
Application
Formaldehyde source to prepare phenol-, urea-, furfuryl alcohol-, resorcinol- and melamine-formaldehyde polymers for use in coatings, wood products, textiles and foundry resins.
Paraformaldehyde may be used in the preparation of azomethine ylide, α-methylenechromanes, α-methylenequinoline and ortho-quinone methides.
Features and Benefits
Source of methanol-free formaldehyde.
Decomposes in hot water to give formaldehyde.
