Formaldehyde

Description

Shipped in drums, barrels, bottles or carboys and used in the manufacture of fertilisers, dyes, disinfectants and germicides. Usually sold and transported as a 40% aqueous solution, and under certain circumstances may become a white solid.

If carried in kegs or barrels there is usually a loss in weight and corrosion of the fastenings if these are of metal. May develop acidity; this causes considerable depreciation and is usually due to the presence of inherent impurities. If packed in a freight container, on unpacking, time should be allowed for dispersal of any fumes, before entering container.

Moderate fire risk. Toxic by inhalation. Strong irritant carcinogenic (solution).

Hazard: IMDG Class 3.3 Flammable liquid.
