Formaldehyde is produced on site by the oxidation of methanol over an iron-molybdate catalyst. It is used by Marinochem to make non-hazardous polymer glues for use in the wood products industry.

The formaldehyde gas is produced through the catalytic oxidation of methanol and this gas is then dissolved in water for storage and shipment.

Formaldehyde is also used as a disinfectant and preservative in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and mortuaries. It plays a vital role in the production of plastics, textiles, and synthetic fibers. Additionally, formaldehyde is utilized in the production of various chemicals, including solvents, dyes and pharmaceuticals.

Methanol stabilised formaldehyde solutions can be supplied, in bulk or IBC quantities, in a wide range of concentrations to suit customers’ needs
