[Prior art] Formaldehyde is generally 37 wt%
It is commercially available as an aqueous formaldehyde solution. Moreover, in recent years, 40 to 50 wt % formaldehyde aqueous solutions have come to be used industrially as highly concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solutions. From the perspective of formaldehyde utilization, the higher the concentration of formaldehyde, the better; however, highly concentrated formaldehyde aqueous solutions are extremely unstable due to precipitation of paraformaldehyde.
Its handling is extremely difficult.

[0005] As the formaldehyde concentration increases, this equilibrium shifts toward a higher degree of polymerization, and components with a higher degree of polymerization precipitate as paraformaldehyde which is insoluble in water. In severe cases, the entire product may solidify. Further, even if the temperature of the formaldehyde aqueous solution becomes low, the solubility of polyoxymethylene glycol decreases, and paraformaldehyde precipitates. An aqueous formaldehyde solution in which paraformaldehyde has precipitated is not only difficult to handle because of its varying concentration, but also causes clogging of equipment, piping, etc., making it difficult to use as an industrial raw material.

[0006] In order to prevent precipitation of paraformaldehyde in an aqueous formaldehyde solution, methods such as increasing the temperature of the aqueous formaldehyde solution, increasing the methanol content, and adding various additives have been taken. However, when the temperature is raised, formic acid is produced by the Cannizzaro reaction, causing corrosion problems. Furthermore, if the methanol content is high, there are problems such as separation of methanol during use. Various compounds have been disclosed as agents for preventing the precipitation of paraformaldehyde in an aqueous formaldehyde solution, and polyvinyl alcohol and formalized products thereof are known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-18282, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 63-303944, and the like.
