methanal

Formaldehyde

Butyraldehyde Decanal Heptanal Hexanal Nonanal Octadecanal Octanal Pentanal Propionaldehyde Related compounds methanol formic acid Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C (77 °F), 100 kPa) Y (verify) (what is: Y/N?) Infobox references Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH2O or HCHO. It is the simplest aldehyde and is also known by its systematic name methanal. The common name of this substance comes from its similarity and relation to formic acid. A gas at room temperature, formaldehyde is colorless and has a characteristic pungent, irritating odor. It is an important precursor to many other materials and chemical compounds. In 1996, the installed capacity for the production of formaldehyde was estimated to be 8.7 million tonnes per year. Commercial solutions of formaldehyde in water, commonly called formol, were formerly used as disinfectants and for preservation of biological specimens. It is commonly used in nail hardeners and/or nail varnish.
