What is Paraformaldehyde? It is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used as a disinfectant, preservative, and fixative agent in various industrial and laboratory settings. It is the smallest polyoxymethylene and has the general formula (CH₂O)n, where n ranges from 6 to 100. It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone, and it decomposes to formaldehyde when heated in the presence of water. This property makes it useful for preparing formaldehyde solutions that are used as a disinfectant and preservative for biological specimens.
