why is paraformaldehyde so flexible it fits phenolic, urea, melamine and resorcinol resin formulations?
because it's almost all formaldehyde.
Celanese paraformaldehyde is 91-95% concentrated. Which means very little water, or any other chemical which could limit its usefulness. So, in formulating resins, para gives you far greater flexibility than any other form of formaldehyde. But that's not all. Don't overlook the fact that para's low water content results in larger batches and higher yields, in shorter processing time, for producers of high solids urea, melamine or phenolic resins. And para is the practical choice for resorcinols. Para's economics may surprise you too. Consider this: Para will lower the cost of new plants by eliminating storage tanks, pumps,
pipe lines and heat exchangers, essential for handling liquid formaldehyde. Consider these factors, too, when modernizing older plants. We'll be glad to sit down with you and explore the economics of para in your application. As the only producer of all four forms of formaldehyde, we're in a great position to talk applications and economics. Call us now.
