Paraformaldehyde offers a stable, solid alternative to formaldehyde solutions with controlled release properties. While it presents fewer immediate hazards than liquid formaldehyde, proper handling remains essential due to its formaldehyde release characteristics. Its versatility makes it valuable across multiple industries, though appropriate safety measures must always be observed.
