Product Description
Formic acid (also called methanoic acid) is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its chemical formula is HCOOH or HCO2H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in ant venom. Its name comes from the Latin word for ant,formica, referring to its early isolation by the distillation of ant bodies.
Formic acid is a colorless liquid having a highly pungent, penetrating odor at room temperature. It is miscible with water and most polar organic solvents, and is somewhat soluble in hydrocarbons.

Uses:-
The principal use of formic acid is as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed.
When sprayed on fresh hay or other silage, it arrests certain decay processes and causes the feed to retain its
nutritive value longer, and so it is widely used to preserve winter feed for cattle. In the poultry industry,
It is sometimes added to feed to kill salmonella bacteria.
It is used to process organic latex (sap) into raw rubber.
Beekeepers use formic acid as a miticide against the Tracheal (Acarapis woodi) mite and the Varroa mite.
It is of minor importance in the textile industry and for the tanning of leather.
Some formate esters are artificial flavorings or perfumes.
It is the active ingredient in some brands of household limescale remover.
It is used in laboratories as a solvent modifier for HPLC and CE separations of proteins and peptides, especially when the sample is being prepared for mass spectrometry analysis.
