FORMIC ACID

✅ FORMIC ACID (CAS 64-18-6) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Formic Acid (CAS 64-18-6) is a colorless, fuming liquid organic acid that has a strong, pungent odor. It is a carboxylic acid that is widely used in various industrial applications including chemical manufacturing, food production, pharmaceuticals, and leather treatment. In the food industry, Formic Acid is used as a preservative, acidulant, and bactericide. It is used in food additives, particularly in silage preservation for animal feed. In pharmaceuticals, Formic Acid serves as a buffering agent, pH regulator, and reagent in the production of various pharmaceutical formulations. Formic Acid is also used in the leather industry for tanning and finishing processes. This white fuming liquid is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/BP/EP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets, injectables, and cosmetic formulations. We supply Formic Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, food producers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
