PARAFORMALDEHYDE PRILLS 91 – 93%

Paraformaldehyde Prills is used in the poultry industry as a disinfectant in hatcheries. It is also used in the cattle and sheep industry for sanitizing the bedding in the sheds. It releases formaldehyde gas when the temperatures increase and reduces contamination levels caused by moulds, viruses and bacteria. Paraformaldehyde prills are heated in a container to give off formaldehyde gas. This is generally done in a fumigation cabinet.

For slow-release, paraformaldehyde prills are put in the nest boxes over a 2 -3 week period. It is slightly soluble in alcohols, but insoluble in hydrocarbons and ethers. It is also important to note that it is only soluble in hot water. It is a white, solid polymer of formaldehyde and it has a strong Formaldehyde smell.
