    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_formaldehyde_resin

    Phenol-formaldehyde resins, as a group, are formed by a step-growth polymerization reaction that can be either acid- or base-catalysed.Since formaldehyde exists predominantly in solution as a dynamic equilibrium of methylene glycol oligomers, the concentration of the reactive form of formaldehyde depends on temperature and pH.

  6. Methanol toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity

    When the body breaks down methanol it results in the creation of metabolite byproducts such as formaldehyde, formic acid, and formate which cause much of the toxicity. [2] The diagnosis may be suspected when there is acidosis or an increased osmol gap and confirmed by directly measuring blood levels.

  7. Paraformaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraformaldehyde

    Paraformaldehyde can be depolymerized to formaldehyde gas by dry heating [2] and to formaldehyde solution by water in the presence of a base, an acid or heat. The high purity formaldehyde solutions obtained in this way are used as a fixative for microscopy and histology. The resulting formaldehyde gas from dry heating paraformaldehyde is flammable.

  9. Mannich reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannich_reaction

    In organic chemistry, the Mannich reaction is a three-component organic reaction that involves the amino alkylation of an acidic proton next to a carbonyl (C=O) functional group by formaldehyde (H−CHO) and a primary or secondary amine (−NH 2) or ammonia (NH 3). [1] The final product is a β-amino-carbonyl compound also known as a Mannich base.
