Formic acid (from Latin formica 'ant'), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C(=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. Esters, salts and the anion derived from formic acid are called for mates. Industrially, formic acid is produced from methanol.
Packaging & Shipping
A major use of formic acid is as preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed.
Formic acid can be used in a fuel cell (it can be used directly in formic acid fuel cells and indirectly in hydrogen fuel cells).
Formic acid has a potential application in soldering.
Formic acid used as a volatile pH modifier in HPLC and capillary electrophoresis.
Formic acid is also significantly used in the production of leather, including tanning, and in dyeing and finishing textiles because of its acidic nature.
