In the initial stage of this continuous process transforms 94/95 percent of the methanol into a formaldehyde gas. This gas, which is saturated with formaldehyde, is then cooled in a heat exchanger. It is then directed into an absorber column where it is quenched by a urea solution, yielding UFC 85, containing 60 percent formaldehyde and 25 percent urea.

Advantages of UFC vs Formalin

• It is the highest commercially available concentration (60%) of formaldehyde
• Most user friendly available form of formaldehyde
• Non combustible material
• Greater degree of stability
• Long term storage (2 years)
• No heating required for storage
• Reduced processing required for UF resins

UFC 85 Uses

• Anti-caking agent for urea prills
• Manufacture of liquid & dry nitrogen fertilizers
• Manufacture of UF resins
• Permanent press resins for textiles
• Manufacture of molding compounds
