Formic acid, also called methanoic acid, CAS No.64‑18‑6, is the simplest aliphatic carboxylic acid, appearing as colorless transparent fuming liquid with pungent irritating odor. It can be fully miscible with water, ethanol and glycerol. Our industrial‑grade formic acid reaches minimum 85% concentration, featuring stable composition and low heavy‑metal impurities, which has become an essential chemical raw material for leather and rubber processing sectors.- In leather manufacturing industry, formic acid is widely used for pickling and tanning procedure. It can effectively adjust pH value of tanning liquor, promote penetration of tanning agent into animal hides, improve leather softness and grain quality. For rubber production, it serves as high‑efficiency coagulant for natural latex, helping solidify latex liquid to obtain uniform rubber blocks with stable physical indexes. Apart from above core uses, this product can work as acid cleaning agent for metal surface treatment, removing oxide layer and rust on steel surface before electroplating.
