FORMALDEHYDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pungent odor, represented by the chemical formula CH2O. It is used in the manufacture of resins, as a preservative, and in various industrial processes. Formaldehyde is highly toxic and a potential carcinogen, causing severe respiratory and skin irritation upon exposure. Proper handling, storage, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
