PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

HCOOH 85% Formic Acid is an aqueous formic acid solution supplied as a colorless liquid with a referenced minimum formic acid content of 85%. Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid and is widely used as an industrial organic-chemical raw material. The referenced commercial grade is controlled through appearance, formic acid concentration, chloride content, and sulphate content. The material is used in selected chemical-synthesis, textile-processing, leather-processing, metal-treatment, and other controlled industrial applications. Because concentrated formic acid solutions are corrosive and require appropriate occupational controls, final handling, storage, transportation, regulatory compliance, and application suitability must be confirmed against the actual supplier SDS, COA, and technical documentation.
KEY PROPERTIES

Product Characteristics

The simplest member of the carboxylic-acid family and an important industrial organic-acid raw material.
Supplied as a colorless liquid in the referenced 85% aqueous commercial grade.
Provides strong acidic and reactive characteristics for controlled industrial processing applications.
Suitable as an intermediate and processing raw material across selected chemical, textile, leather, and manufacturing industries.
Requires controlled professional handling because concentrated formic acid is corrosive and presents significant contact and inhalation hazards.

STORAGE & HANDLING

Handling Guidance

Storage, handling, transportation, and workplace-safety requirements must follow the actual supplier Safety Data Sheet and applicable chemical regulations. The product should remain properly identified and should only be handled in controlled professional or industrial environments using the exposure-control and protective measures specified by the supplier SDS. Supplier-specific requirements for compatibility, emergency response, transportation, and disposal must take precedence over general website information. PBL product information should not be considered a substitute for the supplier SDS, COA, or legally required hazard documentation.
