Application

Provides a source of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde in the synthesis of phenol, urea-furfural-, resorcinol-formaldehyde and melamine resins. These products are widely used in paint, wood, textile and foundry industry.

Paraformaldehyde is also used in the production of chemicals for oil drilling additives for petroleum oils, resins and adhesive materials molded electrical components.

Diverse end use includes chemicals for photography and graphic art, pigments, antioxidants for rubber, ink and chemicals for Fluorescent lamps, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and weakly decaying etc.

Use of paraformaldehyde (PFA 89-96%) in the production of resins (resorcinol-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, melaminosoderzhaschih), as well as in the manufacture of varnishes, adhesives allows you to receive high-quality products and to abandon the use of formalin, urea formaldehyde concentrate (UFC).

Moreover, the use of PFA provides:

- Excludes forming of tar waste water and other waste production;
- Reduces emissions into the atmosphere due to the absence of methanol, which can improve the ecological situation in the company and reduce payments for emissions;
- Increases the productivity of the equipment;
- Significantly reduces the consumption of steam and electricity;
- Significantly reduces the cost of transportation and storage of raw materials;
- Due to the absence of methanol in the resin hardener reduces consumption rates during manufacture of DSP;
- Increases strength indicators of DSP, etc.
