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.
Solubility:-
miscible with ether, acetone,ethyl acetate, glycerol,methanol, ethanol partially soluble in benzene,toluene, xylenes.

Application
Widely used in pharmaceutical industry, leather industry, printing and dyeing industry, chemical industry, rubber industry, steel industry, paper industry, pesticide industry, food industry, poultry industry etc.
Formic acid is also significantly used in the production of leather, including tanning and in dyeing and finishing of textile, because of its acidic nature. Use as a coagulant in the production of rubber.
Formic acid is also used in place of mineral acids for various cleaning products, such as limescale remover and toilet bowl cleaner. Some formate esters are artificial flavorings or perfumes. Beekeepers use formic acid as a miticide against the tracheal mite.
