Trioxane is a crystalline combustible heterocyclic trimer (CH2O)3 of formaldehyde with an odor resembling chloroform that is depolymerized into formaldehyde by traces of mineral acids . We can also say that
any saturated six-membered heterocycle having three carbon atoms and three oxygen atoms is called a trioxane.In chemistry, it is used as a stable, easily handled source of anhydrous formaldehyde. In acidic solutions, it decomposes to generate three molecules of formaldehyde. It may also be used in polymerization to form acetal resins, such as polyoxymethylene plastic.
Trioxane is combined with hexamine and compressed into solid bars to make hexamine fuel tablets, used by the military and outdoorsmen as a cooking fuel.
