Formalin Production Cost Reports

The formalin production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Formalin production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Formalin. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Formalin is a water-based solution of formaldehyde gas. It is normally 37% formaldehyde by weight, with the remaining being water and trace amounts of other contaminants. Formalin is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odour. It is extremely reactive and is utilised in a wide range of industrial and medicinal applications, including disinfection, biological specimen preservation, and the manufacturing of resins, polymers, and textiles. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, formalin is also employed as a sterilising agent. Despite its ubiquitous use, formalin is a dangerous material that can endanger one's health if not handled appropriately.

The chemical formula of formalin is H2CO, and its molecular weight is 30.03 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless liquid and has a very pungent, irritating odor. The boiling point of formalin ranges between 97-99°C and its freezing point is -15°C. The density of formalin is 1.09 g/cm³ and is miscible in water and ethanol. The vapor pressure of formalin is 36 mm Hg at 20°C. It is non-flammable in nature. It is highly reactive with many substances, especially amines, alcohols, and acids

Formalin is used as a disinfectant in a variety of industries, including healthcare, agriculture, and food processing, to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other microbes.  It is employed as a preservative for biological specimens in the field of life sciences and research. It aids in the preservation of specimens by preventing decomposition and disintegration, allowing them to be studied for a longer period of time. It is an important raw element in the production of resins, adhesives, and plastics. It combines with urea to make urea-formaldehyde resin, which is used in the construction, automotive, and packaging sectors. It is used in the textile industry to increase the strength and durability of materials. It is also used as a finishing agent to improve the colour fastness of fabrics.
