description chemical nature toxicology

urea-aldehyde resin condensation product of urea and aliphatic aldehydes In tests on animals, Laropal A 81 did not show acute toxicity when applied orally or dermally. No irritating effects on skin and mucous membranes could be observed. Laropal A 81 is poorly soluble in water and thus can largely be removed from effluents by mechanical means. No inhibition of degradation activity in activated sludge is to be anticipated when low concentrations are introduced. However, incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
