About This Product
Because formaldehyde solutions and formalin dilutions vary by application, the concentration on the label is read before use. The solution is handled only in a fume hood or approved ventilated area, with splash goggles, compatible gloves and a lab coat, and only the minimum quantity set by the written procedure is dispensed. The bottle stays closed when not in use, and waste goes to approved hazardous-waste disposal. The Formaldehyde Solution Reagent Grade is available for supply within India and for export to South Africa, Peru, Senegal, Kuwait, Gabon and Bulgaria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is formaldehyde solution used only in a fume hood?
Formaldehyde is irritating and subject to carcinogen handling precautions, so exposure is kept to a minimum through ventilation, closed containers and protective equipment.
