It is widely used in hospitals, in disinfectants, in carpet and furniture glues, and in a large number of other products. FAH is used in liquid form as a water and methanol solution called Formalin, which has a clear to milky appearance, and in solid form as a white powder called Para-formaldehyde.

Can instance methods replace class methods in programming?

No. never. An instance method cannot replace a class method because: Instance Methods - are normal methods that are linked to a class object instance Class Methods - are static methods that are not linked to any class object. These methods are not interchangeable and will create too many issues if we try to use one in place of the other.


What ingredients are in long lasting nail polish?

Formaldehyde and im sure of this because i looked it up so much to make sure so i did not sound stupid, retarded, and anything else i am one of those smart freaks you know... - - - - - You can't be THAT sure...they never used formaldehyde in nail polish. Tosylamide/formaldehyde resin, which has formaldehyde as an ingredient but is very different from formaldehyde when it gets put in nail polish, is a polymer they use to make nail polish harder. They're developing new resins to replace it because no one wants to use a product that says "formaldehyde" on the ingredients list even if it contains no actual formaldehyde.

What does formaldehyde do to your body?

The Center for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry provides some information on the effects of Formaldehyde on the human body. Short periods of exposure to formaldehyde can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Longer exposure can cause coughing or choking, and severe exposure can result in death from throat swelling or chemical burns to the lungs. Direct contact with skin can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing as little as 2 tablespoons of formalin (liquid formaldehyde) can cause death. Repeated exposure to formaldehyde can cause cancer of the nasal passages. The National Cancer Institute has done studies to identify the long term effects of repeated formaldehyde exposure, and has identified nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia as potential occurrences with this kind of exposure.

What are two ways that modern farming methods are different from traditional farming methods?

Modern farming methods are different from traditional farming methods in the chemicals they use to help control weeds. Traditional methods dictate that crops had to be hoed to control weeds.

If the dinnerware does not state 100 Melamine then what other chemicals are combined to manufacture it?

When you purchase melamine dinnerware, make sure you find out whether it is made of 100% melamine. There are a lot of melamine dinnerware manufacturers who use another material called urea-formaldehyde to replace or mix with melamine-formaldehyde to reduce cost. These are inferior quality melamine and it should also be called as imitation products because they are not made of 100% melamine (melamine formaldehyde. 100% melamine tableware are made of purely melamine formaldehye which is guaranteed food safe and able to withstand high temperatures whereas urea-formaldehye is not suitable to for food contact products because they cannot withstand high temperatures. Therefore they can only be used on non-food contact products such as electrical appliances. Therefore, it is not that all melamine dinnerware ares unsafe. It is those inferior quality melamine products (mixed with urea-formaldehyde) that is not safe for manufacturing dinnerware.
