Paraformaldehyde Prills 96% from China

Paraformaldehyde prills at 96% concentration are small spherical granules used in resin manufacturing and as a formaldehyde source in industrial polymer production. Classified under HTS 2912.60.00.00 as pure paraformaldehyde, this cyclic polymer of formaldehyde qualifies under Chapter 29 aldehyde provisions. The prill form facilitates handling and dissolution in resin synthesis applications.

Import Tips

• Provide manufacturer's specification sheet confirming prill size (typically 1-3mm) and formaldehyde polymer structure

• Declare exact water content as higher moisture levels may trigger reclassification from pure paraformaldehyde

• Use UN3375 or UN2210 packaging compliant with formaldehyde emission regulations and IATA dangerous goods standards
