Greetings,

I want to re-create some published work that use formaldehyde as the wall material for microcapsules. The purpose of this microcapsules are to encapsulate some oil for anticorrosion purpose. However, as we know that formaldehyde is not good for human and animal. And since this microcapsules is planned to be used in coatings and applied to metal-based infrastructure, I am worried about its toxicity effect to the environment.

So, can someone suggest some materials to replace formaldehyde but with similar characteristic and efficiency?

Initially, I planned to make Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules.
