Solutions to Health Issues Caused by Volatile Aldehyde Compounds [Shinshu University]
Expect high commercialization and productization with inexpensive raw materials! Proposing aldehyde compounds obtained by oxidizing sugars.
Formalin (a solution of formaldehyde) is used as a component in adhesives across various fields, but it is a substance that causes health issues, exemplified by sick house syndrome. To solve this problem, it is necessary to discover a substance that has two or more aldehyde groups, is water-soluble and non-volatile, and does not depend on fossil resources. Therefore, we propose aldehyde compounds obtained by oxidizing sugars. These can be industrially produced through the oxidation of sugars using sodium periodate. [Issues] - While it is used as a component in adhesives across various fields, it is a substance that causes health issues, exemplified by sick house syndrome. - There are concerns about future depletion since the raw material is natural gas (methane). *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
