Paraformaldehyde is a polymerized form of formaldehyde with the chemical formula (CH2O)n. It is a white, crystalline solid used as a source of formaldehyde in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of resins, disinfectants, and fixatives. Paraformaldehyde is also employed in histology and pathology for tissue preservation and in the manufacture of plastics and coatings. Handling requires caution due to its potential health hazards, including respiratory and skin irritation. It is typically dissolved in water to form formalin, a common laboratory reagent.
