Product Applications

Synthetic Resin Core Raw Materials

It is the core raw material for preparing phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine formaldehyde resin and polyformaldehyde resin, and has an irreplaceable position in the plastics and composite materials industry.

Fine Chemical Intermediates

It is used to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates, pentaerythritol, methenamine, MDI and other important products. It is also the main raw material of the pesticide glyphosate and is widely used in the field of fine chemicals.

Adhesives for The Wood Industry

As the core component of artificial board adhesives, it is used in the production of plywood and density boards to enhance bonding strength and moisture-proof performance. It is a key raw material in the wood processing industry.

Textile and Leather Auxiliaries

In the textile industry, it is used as a color-fixing agent, anti-wrinkle finishing agent and other textile auxiliaries. It is also used in leather tanning and papermaking processes to improve material properties.

Disinfection and Antisepsis

It has disinfection and antisepsis effects and can be used for environmental disinfection and specimen preservation. Commercially available products are usually 35% to 40% aqueous solution (formalin)
