Formaldehyde 1 liter 10% solution

Formaldehyde 10% solution is a clear and transparent liquid used mainly as a disinfectant, preservative and fixative agent in various fields, including laboratories, healthcare facilities and industries. This chemical is known for its high effectiveness in neutralizing bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms, ensuring a sterile and safe environment. The 10% solution is a diluted preparation compared to pure formaldehyde, designed to be used in a safer and more efficient way, maintaining its disinfectant and preservative properties unchanged.

Thanks to its composition, it can be used in many applications, including treatments of biological tissues, preservation of samples for analysis, as well as in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry for the preparation of products. It is important to note that, despite its versatile use, the use of formaldehyde requires attention and precautions given the potential associated toxicological and irritative risk.

The solution is packaged in a 1 liter bottle, thus facilitating the management and conservation of the product even in medium and large professional environments.

The product must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from heat sources and flammable materials to ensure safety and keep its effectiveness intact over time.

Therapeutic Indications

Formaldehyde 10% solution is mainly indicated for use as a disinfectant and fixative agent in the medico-legal, diagnostic and scientific fields. It is used for the preservation of biological tissues, taking advantage of its ability to fix and preserve anatomical samples for microscopic and histological analyses. This allows the cellular and structural characteristics to be kept unchanged, which are important for detailed observations and subsequent investigations.

Furthermore, formaldehyde is used in the disinfection of work environments, tools, surfaces and instruments that require sterilization, as it acts rapidly against bacteria, spores, fungi and viruses, helping to prevent infections and contamination. The use is also extended in the formulation of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products in which formaldehyde plays a preservative role, preventing the proliferation of harmful microorganisms during storage.

However, its direct use as a therapeutic treatment on humans is limited, being mainly intended for laboratory and industrial applications, with care taken to avoid prolonged exposure or high concentrations that could cause irritation or toxic effects.

For professional operators, it is essential to follow the safety instructions to correctly handle the product and minimize the risks of accidental exposure.

Composition

The 10% Formaldehyde solution is a highly controlled aqueous mixture in which formaldehyde is present in a concentration of 10% by weight. The active ingredient is formaldehyde (CH2O), a simple and volatile organic compound known for its disinfectant and fixative properties. Its chemical formula and purity are guaranteed for professional and laboratory use, ensuring constant effectiveness and a minimum presence of impurities that could compromise its use.

In addition to formaldehyde, the solution contains distilled water as a solvent to ensure stability and ease of use. The solution may include modest pH adjustments or other stabilizers, always in compliance with current regulations to maintain safety and effectiveness. There are no aromatic agents or other additional components that could alter the chemical and physical properties of pure diluted formaldehyde.

The composition is designed to ensure an optimal balance between disinfectant power and safety of use, making the solution suitable for multiple applications both in the scientific field and in biological and medical conservation.

Contraindications

The use of 10% formaldehyde solution is contraindicated in case of known allergy or hypersensitivity to formaldehyde or any other component present in the solution. Given the irritating and potentially toxic nature of formaldehyde, prolonged direct contact with the skin, mucous membranes or inhalation of concentrated vapors is not recommended, as it may cause
