A formaldehyde releaser, formaldehyde donor or formaldehyde-releasing preservative is a chemical compound that slowly releases formaldehyde. Formaldehyde-releasers are added to prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life. [ 1 ]
2007: Arkema sells its agrochemical business (Cerexagri) to United Phosphorus [12] and its urea-formaldehyde activities to Hexion.

Urea-formaldehyde (UF), also known as urea-methanal, so named for its common synthesis pathway and overall structure, [1] is a nontransparent thermosetting resin or polymer. It is produced from urea and formaldehyde. These resins are used in adhesives, plywood, particle board, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and molded objects.
Solenis' line of Soyad adhesives contains no formaldehyde and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Typical interior wood products include urea formaldehyde (UF) in their adhesives. Over time, UF releases free formaldehyde into the air in a carcinogenic gaseous form, which can be inhaled by humans.
Methylene ureas, e.g. methylene diurea, were commercialized in the 1960s and 1970s, having 25% and 60% of the nitrogen as cold-water-insoluble, and unreacted urea nitrogen in the range of 15% to 30%. In the 1960s in the U.S., the Tennessee Valley Authority National Fertilizer Development Center began developing sulfur-coated urea.
Some people have a contact allergy to imidazolidinyl urea causing dermatitis. [3] Such people are often also allergic to diazolidinyl urea. In addition to being an allergen, it is a formaldehyde releaser, since it generates formaldehyde slowly as it degrades. Although the formaldehyde acts as a bactericidal preservative, it is a known carcinogen.
Even worse, an estimated 42% of them emitted toxic levels of formaldehyde, a chemical that causes nasal cancer and nosebleeds, and can aggravate asthma and other respiratory problems.
Fevicol is marketed as a white adhesive, described in company literature as a poly-synthetic resin.It is manufactured through the synthesis of formaldehyde and urea. [4]The product line includes various formulations designed for specific attributes such as bonding strength, impact resistance, curing time, sag resistance, shrinkage, versatility, fire resistance, shock and vibration resistance ...
