product description

Products Description of Formic acid CAS#64-18-6

Formic acid is a colorless liquid characterized by a strong, pungent odor. It is a stable yet highly corrosive and flammable chemical with hygroscopic properties, readily absorbing moisture from the air.

This substance is incompatible with sulfuric acid, strong alkalis, furfuryl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, powerful oxidizing agents, and bases. Contact with oxidizers may cause violent reactions, so careful handling and proper storage are essential to ensure safety.

Product Application of Formic acid CAS#64-18-6

Formic Acid is widely used across numerous industrial and commercial fields. It serves as an important organic acid and chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. In the feed and food industries, it is applied as a feed additive, food additive, and flavoring component, including both natural-equivalent and artificial flavors.

Formic Acid is also utilized in paper processing as a functional paper chemical, and as a high-purity solvent in laboratory and industrial operations. In analytical chemistry, it is commonly employed as an analytical standard and as a reference substance for impurity testing, as well as a gas chromatography standard for color scale calibration. In addition, it functions as a key organic raw material in many manufacturing processes.
