About this product
Formaldehyde, CAS 50-00-0, is supplied as Industrial Grade, 37% Solution — the aqueous strength sold in trade as formalin. Its IUPAC name is methanal and its formula is HCHO. Buyers use it to build urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins for plywood, particle board and laminate adhesives, moulding powders and surface coatings. We source from GNFC, Vizag Steel (RINL), Kanoria Chemicals (KCI) and Chemanol, with assay of 37.00% (w/w) min as HCHO confirmed against the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis. Bulk road tankers and HDPE drums dispatch from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse across South India. Trading since 1997.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number of formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is CAS 50-00-0. Its IUPAC name is methanal and its formula is HCHO (CH2O). The HSN code is 2912 11 00.
Is formalin the same as formaldehyde?
Formalin is the common trade name for the roughly 37% aqueous solution of formaldehyde — the exact grade we supply. Our material is Industrial Grade, 37% Solution, assaying 37.00% (w/w) min as HCHO.
What is formaldehyde 37% used for?
It is the building block for urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins. Those resins go into plywood, particle board and laminate adhesive binders, decorative laminates and board surfacing, moulding powders, bonded abrasives and surface coatings.
What is the specification of your formaldehyde 37% solution?
Clear colourless liquid; assay as HCHO 37.00% (w/w) min; acidity as HCOOH 0.00-0.05% (m); methanol content 1.00-1.50% (m). Values are backed by the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis.
What packaging do you supply formaldehyde in, and do you stock it in Chennai?
We supply bulk road tanker and HDPE drums, held at our Redhills warehouse in Chennai with dispatch across South India. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock — call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.
How should formaldehyde be stored and handled?
Formaldehyde is toxic and corrosive, classified UN 2209, Class 8. The vapour irritates the eyes and respiratory tract and it is a suspected carcinogen. Store below 25°C in closed containers and use with ventilation, gloves and eye protection. Full details are in our downloadable TDS and MSDS.
