Can this product absorb Formaldehyde?

Yes! We bought a new trailer and it was full of all kinds of chemical smell. It took a while for all those materials to "out gas". But the Health mate made it possible for us to use the unit without getting any headaches.

According to this, yes: http://austinair.com/products/junior-series™/healthmate-jr-plus/

My guess is: No. The active ingredients are strong solvents, but the only way to know for sure would be to try using it on a small, unobtrusive patch.

Packaging does not mention it, but from my research this product is supposed to be free from formaldehyde as well as chlorine and bleach. I use this TP exclusively for my TP needs and for blowing my nose. It's the only product that does not send my allergies into a fit when I sneeze. Here is what Seventh Generation says about their product: "We have transitioned from the synthetic (petroleum-derived) preservative hexahydro-1,3,5-tris (2-hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine (THT) to another synthetic preservative which is a combination of methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (MIT/BIT). The reason for this transition was that THT is a formaldehyde donor and formaldehyde is an allergen and known carcinogen when inhaled, however it is not a carcinogen when applied to the skin, the most likely route of exposure from a cleaning product. MIT/BIT is a synthetic preservative, however it is not a formaldehyde donor, is biodegradable, and has been proven to be non-irritating at the use level in our products."

Since it absorbs liquid well, I assume you could but I have not personally tried it.

yes, Formaldehyde resin & Formaldehyde. It is listed in the ingredient list

I'm not sure if this will work if something has soaked into the wood. You may want to try a solution of diluted vinegar and water and maybe put an opened box of baking soda in there for a bit. I've also heard that plain charcoal will help absorb odors.

I can't be sure, but I would suspect you would not want to. This chemical doesn't dissolve waste, but rather preserves it (reducing foul smells) until pumped out/transferred.

you probably could, but the smell might be nasty. If heat melts it, this will cut it.

It could possibly! It's not a huge problem with build up or residue! It smells great!

Yes. It's a very good product and I would use it before bed so it can be absorbed.

Not from chemicals. If it gets damp it will smell like mildew if not dryed quickly

I don't see why not. It is an enzyme not a harsh chemical. However why would you want to when you could just drain, clean and refill, rather then waiting a couple of days for clear water.

Wikipedia is great but only gives you a very rough idea and is often... not very scientific. Here is a link to the page of the FDA and what it says about formaldehyde:http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductandIngredientSafety/ProductInformation/ucm127068.htm#formaPutting high concentrations of formalin on your skin is not considered safe. But skin and nail is not the same thing and you're not supposed to put this stuff on your skin or cuticles. And it is considered a carcinogen when inhaled. But all solvents in all nail polishes are toxic and that's probably why it says to use only in ventilated areas.

It does have formaldehyde and it stinks putting it on I have to use it outside or I cannot breathe or see but it has done wonders for my hair and it is the best keratin treatment I've used.

I don't see why not as long as you dilute it. This product is for multiple surfaces.

Yes just give it a minute to absorb. I found I didn't need to use my primer anymore. But your results may vary.

Truthfully, I don't know. I suppose it would depend on how strong the smell is. We live in an old house, with a coat closet located in a combination laundry room/bathroom, so I need something to eliminate and prevent a musty odor in the closet. This deodorizer works very well for that purpose.
