Formaldehyde Supplier
UAE

Formaldehyde is used primarily as the reactive monomer in urea-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins for wood-panel adhesives; as an active ingredient in disinfectants and biocides; as a cross-linking agent in textile and leather finishing; and as a feedstock for pentaerythritol, hexamine and other specialty chemical intermediates across the UAE and GCC.

The CAS number for Formaldehyde (methanal, HCHO) is 50-00-0. As supplied, the commercial aqueous solution — formalin — is typically transported under UN 2209.

Formaldehyde is the pure chemical compound (HCHO), a gas at room temperature that is unstable in its pure form. Formalin is the commercial aqueous solution of formaldehyde — typically 37% or 44% w/w — stabilised with a small percentage of methanol to prevent the formaldehyde from polymerising into insoluble paraformaldehyde. When buyers order "formaldehyde" commercially, they are almost always ordering formalin solution.

Chelora Chemicals UAE is a dedicated Formaldehyde (formalin) supplier serving all seven UAE emirates. We stock 37% and 44% w/w solutions in IBCs, ISO tanks and bulk tanker, serving the wood-panel, resin, textile, disinfectant and specialty chemical industries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE delivers Formaldehyde solution to all seven UAE emirates — Dubai (including Jebel Ali FZ, Al Quoz and DIP), Abu Dhabi (Musaffah, ICAD, KIZAD), Sharjah (SAIF Zone, Hamriyah FZ), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — as well as to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other GCC countries.

Formaldehyde has a natural tendency to polymerise, especially as temperature drops. If formalin solution is allowed to cool below its critical temperature (typically around 20–30 °C depending on concentration and methanol content), dissolved formaldehyde molecules begin linking together into insoluble paraformaldehyde, clouding the solution and reducing usable formaldehyde content. Chelora Chemicals UAE maintains temperature-controlled storage and transport to prevent this.

Yes. Formaldehyde solution is corrosive, causing severe skin and eye burns on contact, and is classified by IARC as a Group 1 human carcinogen under sustained occupational exposure. It is also a strong respiratory and skin sensitiser. Handling requires appropriate ventilation, PPE and exposure monitoring. Always consult the batch-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every shipment.

Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Formaldehyde solution in 1,000 L IBC totes (standard for mid-volume buyers), ISO tank containers (temperature-maintained bulk transport) and bulk road tanker delivery for large-volume UAE-based resin producers. Insulated or heated transport is arranged for export shipments to prevent precipitation en route.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE regularly exports formalin solution to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and wider markets, leveraging our proximity to Jebel Ali Port. We handle all export logistics including temperature-maintained freight forwarding, customs documentation, certificate of origin (COO), dangerous goods declarations and safety data sheets in Arabic and English.
