Regulations about the use and release of formaldehyde are becoming bigger challenges for the leather industry every year. Formaldehyde chemistry is interesting but also complicated. This makes communication about this topic between commercial and technical professionals somewhat difficult. Many misunderstandings do exist, sometimes leading to wrong choices. In this white paper we try to give an overview that requires only a basic understanding of chemistry, but is complete and scientifically correct. It is our objective to simplify communication about this topic.
