Description
Formaline is a colorless liquid. Due to formaldehyde off-gassing, it has a strong, irritating odour. Since the PH of this solution is neutral, it can be used as a reducing agent to reduce other substances when making formic acid. Formaline solutions with a high concentration of formaldehyde are flammable. Since they can destroy dangerous microorganisms, this solution can be used as disinfectants and germicides. Aside from that, they have a dehydrating effect, the ability to preserve themselves, and the ability to combine with proteins, inactivating them and destroying cells. Formaline is widely used in aquariums to destroy parasites that live on fish because of these properties.
