Do You Know Trioxane

What is Trioxane?

Trioxane refers to any of three isomeric organic compounds composed of a six-membered ring with three carbon atoms and three oxygen atoms, having the molecular formula C3H6O3.

Production of Trioxane

Trioxane is produced by trimerization of formaldehyde using acid catalysts. The reaction is conducted in concentrated aqueous solution and the product is separated by solvent extraction.

Uses of Trioxane

Trioxane is mainly consumed in the production of polyoxymethylene plastics, of which about 1M tons/y are produced.Other applications exploit its tendency to release formaldehyde. As such it is used as a binder in textiles, wood products, etc. Trioxane is combined with hexamine and compressed into solid bars to make hexamine fuel tablets, used by the military and outdoorsmen as a cooking fuel.

In the laboratory, trioxane is used as an anhydrous source of formaldehyde.
