Description

Formic acid (CAS No.: 64-18-6), commonly known as Methanoic acid (ant acid), is widely present in nature and is a component of the defense systems of many insects and plants. As a strong organic acid, formic acid exhibits excellent acidity, reducibility, and permeability. In the agricultural sector, it is one of the most important additives for silage, effectively inhibiting harmful microorganisms and preserving feed nutrition. In the leather industry, it serves as an efficient deliming agent (to remove lime from hides) and tanning agent. In chemical production, formic acid is a fundamental raw material for synthesizing fine chemicals such as formate esters and formamides, and also a key intermediate in producing high-efficiency pesticides (e.g., triadimefon) and pharmaceuticals (e.g., vitamins). Additionally, it is used as a coagulant for natural rubber, an acidic reducing agent in dyeing and printing, and a pH regulator in drilling fluids. Our product is industrial-grade formic acid, manufactured in Shandong, China, with a concentration of ≥85% (different specifications available upon request). It is produced via mature processes such as the reaction of carbon monoxide with sodium hydroxide (sodium formate method) or hydrolysis of methyl formate, offering stable quality to meet the application needs of various industries including feed, leather, and chemical synthesis.
