Formalin

Formaldehyde is an important raw material in the production of many Chemicals.

It is commercially available primarily in the form of an aqueous (37-52% wt)

solution (Formalin) and in solid form as Para formaldehyde

SCI formalin is offered in the range of   37-42%  and up to  10% methanol.

Transportation

With decrease in temp. and/or an increase in concentration, aqueous formaldehyde solutions tend to precipitate, and on the other hand as the temp. increase, it tends to

form formic acid. Therefore an appropriate storage temp must be maintained (e.g.min. storage temp. for  formalin (37%is 25°c). Formalin can be stored and transported in containers made of stainless steel, aluminum, iron containers lined with epoxy resin or plastic, although stainless steel containers are preferred.  

SCI formalin is supplied:

A. In bulk, 20MT stainless steel road tanker.

B. In 220 Liters HDPE drums

C. Other means of packing such as ISO container or small drums could be ordered.
