Urea formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance that is commonly present in meat, fruits, and vegetables. It also plays a crucial role in preventing bacteria and microorganisms from forming. As a result, urea formaldehyde is used as a preservative in foods, as well as in vaccines. Among its other applications, it is used to inactivate viruses and bacteria in medical products, such as vaccines. Moreover, urea-formaldehyde resins are generally produced at a relatively low cost, making them ideal for the production of cosmetic jars, electrical products, and interior plywood.
