Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Formaldehyde shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Formaldehyde offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Formaldehyde at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Formaldehyde? Wrong! If the Formaldehyde is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Formaldehyde then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Formaldehyde? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Formaldehyde and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Formaldehyde wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Formaldehyde then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Formaldehyde site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Formaldehyde, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Formaldehyde, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The simplest aldehyde, it was first synthesized by the Russian chemist Aleksandr Butlerov but was conclusively identified by August Wilhelm von Hofmann.J Read, Text-Book of Organic Chemistry, G Bell & Sons, London, 1935 Formaldehyde exists in several forms aside from H2CO: the cyclic trimer trioxane and the polymer Polyoxymethylene. Additionally, in water, it exists as the hydrate H2C(OH)2.

Formaldehyde is an intermediate in the oxidation (or combustion) of methane as well as other carbon compounds. It can be found in the smoke from forest fires, in automobile exhaust, and in tobacco smoke. In the Earth's atmosphere, formaldehyde is produced by the action of sunlight and oxygen on atmospheric methane and other hydrocarbons. It thus becomes part of smog pollution. Small amounts of formaldehyde are produced as a metabolism byproduct in most organisms, including humans.

Properties Although formaldehyde is a gas at room temperature, it is readily soluble in water. It is usually sold as a saturated aqueous solution with concentration of around 37% formaldehyde, stabilized with 10-15% methanol. The commercial name is either Formalin, or Formol. In water, formaldehyde mostly converts to the hydrate CH2(OH)2 or methanediol. A few percent of methanol is usually added to these solutions to limit the extent of polymerization. Formalin reversibly polymerizes to produce its cyclic trimer, 1,3,5-Trioxane or the linear polymer polyoxymethylene. The latter one can be heated to obtain methanol-free formaldehyde. Because of the formation of these derivatives, formaldehyde gas deviates strongly from the ideal gas law, especially at high pressure or low temperature.

Production Industrially, formaldehyde is produced by the catalytic oxidation of methanol. The most common catalysts are silver metal or a mixture of an iron oxide with molybdenum and vanadium. In the more commonly used FORMOX® process methanol and oxygen react at ca 250-400 °C in presence of iron oxide in combination with molybdenum and/or vanadium to produce formaldehyde according to the chemical equation 2 methanol + oxygen → 2 H2CO + 2 water (molecule)

The silver-based catalyst is usually operated at a higher temperature, about 650 °C. On it, two chemical reactions simultaneously produce formaldehyde: the one shown above, and the dehydrogenation reaction CH3OH → H2CO + hydrogen

Formaldehyde is readily oxidation by atmospheric oxygen to form formic acid. Formic acid is found in ppm levels in commercial formaldehyde.

On a smaller scale, formalin can be produced using a whole range of other methods including conversion from ethanol instead of the normally-fed methanol feedstock. Such methods are of less commercial importance.

Organic chemistry Formaldehyde is a central building block in the synthesis of many other compounds. It exhibits most of the chemical properties of other aldehydes but is more reactive. Formaldehyde is a good electrophile, participating in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions with aromatic compounds and can undergo electrophilic addition reactions with alkenes. In the presence of base (chemistry) catalysts, formaldehyde undergoes a Cannizaro reaction to produce formic acid and methanol.

Condensation with acetaldehyde affords pentaerythritol.http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV1P0425.pdf Condensation with phenols gives phenol-formaldehyde resins. WIth 4-substituted phenols, one obtains calixarenes.Gutsche, C. D.; Iqbal, M. "p-tert-Butylcalixarene" Organic Syntheses, Collected Volume 8, p.75 (1993); Vol. 68, p.234 (1990). http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV8P0075.pdf

Biology Formaldehyde (and its oligomers and hydrates) are rarely encountered in living organisms, but are often used in biology when fixing tissues. Methanogenesis, which can start from many C1 sources, proceeds via the equivalent of formaldehyde, but this one-carbon species is masked as a methylene group carried by methanopterin.

As a disinfectant and biocide An aqueous solution of formaldehyde can be useful as a disinfectant as it kills most bacterium and fungi (including their spores). It is also used as a preservative in vaccinations. In medicine, formaldehyde solutions are applied topically to dry the skin, such as in the treatment of warts.

Formaldehyde preserves or Fixation (histology) tissue or cells by irreversibly cross-linking primary amino group in proteins with other nearby nitrogen atoms in protein or DNA through a -CH2- linkage.

Formaldehyde is also used as a detergent in RNA gel electrophoresis, preventing RNA from forming secondary structures.

Formaldehyde is converted to formic acid in the body, leading to a rise in blood acidity (acidosis).

Industry Formaldehyde is a common building block for the synthesis of more complex compounds and materials.

Most formaldehyde is used in the production of polymers and other chemicals. When combined with phenol, urea, or melamine, formaldehyde produces a hard thermoset resin. These resins are commonly used in permanent adhesives, such as those used in plywood or carpeting. It is used as the wet-strength resin added to sanitary paper products such as (listed in increasing concentrations injected into the paper machine headstock chest) facial tissue, table napkins, and roll towels. They are also foamed to make Thermal insulation, or casting into moulded products. Production of formaldehyde resins accounts for more than half of formaldehyde consumption.

Many of these are polyfunctional alcohols such as pentaerythritol, which is used to make paints and explosives. Other formaldehyde derivatives include methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, an important component in polyurethane paints and foams, and hexamine, which is used in phenol-formaldehyde resins as well as the explosive RDX.

Formaldehyde is still used in low concentrations for process C-41 (color negative film) stabilizer in the final wash step, as well as in the process E-6 pre-bleach step, to obviate the need for it in the final wash.

Formaldehyde is used to produce glues used in the manufacture of particleboard, plywood, veneers, and other wood products as well as spray-on insulating foams.

Formaldehyde, along with 18 Concentration#molarity (concentrated) sulfuric acid (the entire solution often called the Marquis reagent)http://www.dancesafe.org/documents/druginfo/testkits.php is used as an MDMA "testing kit" by such groups as Dancesafe as well as MDMA consumers. The solution alone cannot verify the presence of MDMA, but reacts with many other chemicals that the MDMA tablet itself may be adulterated with. The reaction itself produces colors which correlate with these components.

The textile industry uses formaldehyde-based resins as finishers to make fabrics crease-resistant.

Embalming Formaldehyde based solutions are used in embalming to disinfect and temporarily preserve human remains pending final disposition. It is the ability of formaldehyde to fix the tissue that produces the tell-tale firmness of flesh in an embalmed body. While other, heavier aldehydes also produce a similar firming action, none approaches the completeness of formaldehyde.

Several European countries restrict the use of formaldehyde, including the import of formaldehyde-treated products and embalming, and the European Union is considering a complete ban on formaldehyde usage (including embalming), subject to a review of List 4B of the Technical Annex to the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the Evaluation of the Active Substances of Plant Protection Products by the European Commission Services. Countries with a strong tradition of embalming corpses, such as Ireland and other colder weather countries, have raised concerns.

The European Union has decided on the date September 22, 2007 to ban Formaldehyde use throughout Europe, because of its carcinogenic properties.http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=41468

Safety Occupational exposure to formaldehyde by inhalation is mainly from three types of sources: Thermal decomposition or chemical decomposition of formaldehyde-based resins, formaldehyde emission from aqueous solutions (for example, embalming fluids), or the production of formaldehyde resulting from the combustion of a variety of organic compounds (for example, exhaust gases). Formaldehyde can be toxic, allergenic, and carcinogenic.IARC Press Release June 2004, http://www.iarc.fr/ENG/Press_Releases/archives/pr153a.html Because formaldehyde resins are used in many construction materials, formaldehyde is one of the more common indoor air pollutants. At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, resulting in watery eyes. If inhaled, formaldehyde at this concentration may cause headaches, a burning sensation in the throat, and difficulty breathing, as well as triggering or aggravating asthma symptoms.Symptoms of Low-Level Formaldehyde Exposures, Health Canada, http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/iyh-vsv/environ/formaldehyde_e.html Formaldehyde is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and as having sufficient evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol88/volume88.pdf "Formaldehyde".The United States Environmental Protection Agency USEPA allows no more than 0.016 ppm formaldehyde in the air in new buildings constructed for that agency Testing for Indoor Air Quality, Baseline IAQ, and Materials, http://www.epa.gov/rtp/new-bldg/environmental/s_01445.htm Formaldehyde can cause allergies, and is part of the standard patch test series. People with formaldehyde allergy are advised to avoid formaldehyde-releasing chemicals as well (e.g. Quaternium-15, imidazolidinyl urea, and diazolidinyl urea).Allergy to formaldehyde at DermNetNZ, http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/formaldehyde-allergy.html Cancer Causing Substance Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and a probable human carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
