Formaldehyde (CH2O) Detectors

Safeguard workers and ensure compliance in manufacturing, laboratory, and preservation environments with our fixed and portable formaldehyde detection systems.

Detection is achieved using electrochemical sensors designed for high sensitivity at low parts-per-million levels, offering fast and accurate readings. Routine calibration maintains long-term reliability and ensures compliance with occupational exposure limits.

Formaldehyde (CH₂O) is a colourless, pungent gas widely used in resins, plastics, textiles, laboratories, and as a preservative. While valuable across industries, formaldehyde is a toxic and carcinogenic substance. Short-term exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, while prolonged or repeated exposure has been linked to respiratory disorders and cancer. Because it is both hazardous at low concentrations and difficult to detect by smell alone, reliable gas monitoring is critical in workplaces where formaldehyde is produced or applied.
