Formic Acid 85%

Formic Acid (systematically named Methanoic Acid) is the simplest carboxylic acid, with the chemical formula HCOOH. It is a colorless liquid with a highly pungent odor. It is utilized in leather tanning, textile dyeing, livestock feed preservation, and as a beekeeping miticide.

Applications of Formic Acid (HCOOH):

• Agriculture & Beekeeping: It is heavily used to preserve silage and hay and serves as an effective, natural miticide for controlling Varroa mites in honeybee hives.

• Textiles & Leather: It functions as an acidulating and reducing agent. It fixes dyes to fabrics and is used in leather tanning to de-hair, de-lime and process raw hides.

• Rubber Manufacturing: Formic Acid acts as a vital coagulating agent that solidifies natural latex into sheet rubber.

• Cleaning & Descaling: Its strong acidic properties are leveraged in household and industrial cleaning products to dissolve mineral deposits, rust and limescale.

• Chemical Synthesis: Formic Acid acts as a chemical intermediate for manufacturing various esters, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
