Formaldehyde Neutraliser Pads

PRC's Formaldehyde Neutraliser Pads minimise exposure to formaldehyde and formalin vapours, helping to ensure a safe work area for employees.

Available in two pack sizes:

  • PRC/FNP/S - 20 x 25 cm (8" x 10") – absorb and neutralise up to 100ml 10% formalin
  • PRC/FNP/M - 28 x 35 cm (11" x 14") – absorb and neutralise up to 200ml 10% formalin


Benefits Include:

  • Chemically neutralises formaldehyde – Designed to chemically react with formaldehyde vapours rather than simply absorb them.
  • Encapsulates the vapours – The reaction helps trap/encapsulate formaldehyde within the pad, reducing exposure.
  • Reduces formaldehyde exposure – Specifically designed to dramatically reduce exposure to formaldehyde vapours in areas where specimens are handled.
  • Ideal for grossing areas – Particularly suited to histopathology grossing/cut-up areas. Blue colour provides the ideal contrast to examine specimens.
  • Suitable for autopsy work – Designed for applications where larger quantities of formalin-fixed tissue may be handled.
  • Passive protection – Provides formaldehyde vapour control without requiring an electrical extraction or filtration system at the point of use.
  • Easy to use – A simple ready-to-use pad that can be positioned where formaldehyde vapour may escape.
  • Available in two different sizes – to suit different working areas/applications.

  • Typical uses:

  • Histopathology grossing / cut-up areas – Helps control formaldehyde vapours released when specimens are opened and examined.
  • Pathology laboratories – For use around areas where formalin-fixed specimens are routinely handled.
  • Autopsy / mortuary areas – Helps reduce formaldehyde exposure when handling larger quantities of fixed tissue.
  • Specimen receiving areas – Useful where formalin containers are opened or specimens are transferred.
  • Operating theatres / surgical areas – Can be used where formalin specimen pots are temporarily opened or handled.
  • Formalin spill response – Can provide additional control where small amounts of formalin have been spilled or leaked.
  • Specimen containers – Can be positioned around/near formalin containers to help control escaping vapours.
  • Grossing stations – Particularly useful as an additional control measure alongside LEV.
  • Histology processing areas – Suitable where formalin-fixed specimens are routinely moved, opened or processed.
