Useful:

• uses: Acetal resins, also known as polyoxymethylene and polyformaldehyde, are polymers of pure formaldehyde with unusually good mechanical properties. They are resistant to elongation and impact and replace light metals in many uses. The finished polymer has not been related to adverse health effects in humans or animals. They can be thermally degraded, for example, in an overheated molding machine, to produce formaldehyde gas, with its well-recognized irritant and sensitizing properties.
