Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is a polymer of formaldehyde which typically appears in a white crystalline form. It is used in the field of biology and medicine for the preparation of PFA solution which is used for the detection of tissue and tissue slice. PFA preserves the natural structure of a cell and tissue, allowing the researchers to perform microscopic analysis on it. Moreover, it can be used for the preparation of adhesives, resins, and antiseptics in the dentistry industry.
Paraformaldehyde (PFA) appears in a white crystalline form and remains stable under normal temperature conditions. This compound can decompose into formaldehyde when melted at 120-170°C and has a pungent odour. PFA can turn into formaldehyde upon depolymerisation, which can be then used in chemical reactions and cross-linking processes. PFA is readily used for biological research purposes as it can prevent the morphology of tissues.
The production process of PFA is a multi-step direct process. Firstly, a formaldehyde solution is prepared with a concentration ranging between 80% and 89%. In the next step, the solution is heated at a temperature ranging from 80°C to 100°C before being mixed with a catalyst which speeds up the reaction and aids the polymerisation process. The heated formaldehyde solution is moved onto a metal belt conveyor with separate temperature zones and the solution first passes through the heated sections. As the conveyor moves forward, it carries the solution to the cooled sections, where the temperature decreases, causing the formaldehyde to polymerise completely and form paraformaldehyde crystals.

Paraformaldehyde is formed by the polymerisation of formaldehyde gas. The primary chemical reaction can be summarised as follows:
n HCHO → (HCHO)n
Where 'n' is the degree of polymerisation and typically ranges from 8 to 100. Above reaction shows that when formaldehyde gas (HCHO) polymerises, it forms a white and crystalline solid of paraformaldehyde. It is often used in its solid form and requires careful handling.
Molecular Formula of Paraformaldehyde: (HCHO)n
Molecular Weight: Varies with 'n', where each unit of formaldehyde has a molecular weight of about 30 g/mol.
PFA solution finds widespread applications in tissues and cells as formalin fixatives. It preserves the structure and morphology and allows researchers to conduct their microscopic study. It can also be used as a formaldehyde source to produce thermosetting resins, in conjunction with melamine, phenol, and urea, among other reagents. Moreover, it can be implemented in disinfectants as it possesses antimicrobial properties.
