UREA-METHANL
That's the same as formaldehyde.
Formalin (which is what I suppose you are asking about) is another name for formaldahyde.Formaldehyde is produced industrially by the catalytic oxidation of methanol.See the "Sources and related links below"

The chemical urea-formaldehyde could be used in any number of application that might lend it a nickname. Truly, urea-formaldehyde is used so widely and diversely that no common name exists. However, there is one vastly popular use, MDF, the popular resin board used in construction.
No, not the kind of alcohol that you drink. Your body metabolizes drinking alcohol (ethanol) through a series of steps, one of which is acetylaldehyde, a chemical related to formaldehyde. However, the body metabolizes methanol, another kind of alcohol, into formaldehyde.
