Liquid 99% lab formic acid occurs naturally in ants and in the fruit of the soap tree, it is also formed as a by-product in the atmospheric oxidation of turpentine. The common commercial product is sodium formate, which is prepared by the reaction of carbon monoxide and sodium hydroxide under pressure and heat. Unlike other organic acids, lab formic acid has the advantage of being both a carboxylic acid and an aldehyde. It acts, therefore, both as an acidifying and a reducing agent, which clearly gives lab formic acid enhanced potential for use in industry. Lab liquid formic acid is used in leather manufacture to control pH, as well as acid dyeing, and has been used for many years as an environmentally friendly alternative in industries such as textiles, natural rubber processing. It is also used in agriculture, as well as in the production of medicines, cosmetics, detergents, and disinfectants. It has excellent properties in controlling acidity, while at the same time effectively restricting microbial growth.
Additional applications/uses are:
Liquid formic acid can used in artificial sweetener preparation
Hard surface care
Home & industrial care intermediates
99% formic acid can used in laboratories as a solvent modifier for HPLC separations of protenins and peptides, especially when the sample is being prepared for mass spectrometry analysis
Lab 99% formic acid can added in pharmaceutical processing of HTF production
99% liquid formic acid can used in industrial clean and institutional clean
