A polyoxymethylene polymer composition is disclosed containing a formaldehyde stabilizer package. The formaldehyde stabilizer package, which contains at least two emission control agents, dramatically and unexpectedly reduces formaldehyde emissions. The formaldehyde stabilizer package includes at least two emission control agents selected from the group of benzoguanamine compounds, a hydantoin, a substituted hydantoin, an amino acid, and an alkylene urea such as ethylene urea.

A process for forming stabilizing paraformaldehyde can include heating a formaldehyde solution comprising 30 wt % or more formaldehyde to a temperature ranging from about 70 C. to about 130 C.; aging the formaldehyde solution for a sufficient amount of time to polymerize the formaldehyde and form paraformaldehyde; solidifying the paraformaldehyde; and contacting the formaldehyde solution before and/or during heating, the formaldehyde solution during aging, the paraformaldehyde, and/or the solidified paraformaldehyde with an ammonia and/or ammonia hydroxide stabilizer.

The present disclosure is directed to a polyacetal, or polyoxymethylene (POM), base composition which contains an additive package containing additives suitable for food processing applications. Of particular advantage, POM produced according to the present disclosure may demonstrate low formaldehyde emissions, extractables, or both, when measured by standard methods without containing any formaldehyde scavenger packages.
