Formic acid, CAS 64-18-6, is also known as methanoic acid. This water-miscible organic acid is used in leather processing, textile operations and industrial chemical processes.
For bulk purchasing, select the concentration and impurity limits for your application. Send us your intended use and approximate quantity to discuss a quotation and suitable packing.
Formic acid is also known as methanoic acid. It is used for acidification and pH control in leather and textile processing. It also serves as a raw material or auxiliary in chemical synthesis and as an ingredient in selected industrial cleaning formulations. The concentration and compatibility requirements depend on the process.
Choose the acid content on a mass basis together with the permitted water content. For a repeat purchase, include the specification you currently use so the quotation can be matched to the same acceptance criteria.
Depending on the application, purchasing controls may include appearance, colour, acid assay and limits for inorganic impurities or non-volatile residue. We can agree the relevant specification with your order; a generic product name alone does not define all quality limits. Industrial use does not by itself establish food, feed or pharmaceutical suitability.
Discuss drum or IBC requirements with your quantity and destination. Container material, closures and pressure-relief arrangements must suit the offered concentration and handling conditions. Packaging illustrations show the container format and do not establish the final pack size.
Formic acid is corrosive. Follow the current SDS for the offered concentration, use compatible transfer equipment and keep the product away from incompatible materials. Storage conditions and transport classification must be taken from that product-specific document.
We can provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the offered product. These documents serve different purposes: quality results, technical information and safe handling.
Send us your application and approximate quantity to start a bulk quotation. Your target concentration, packing preference and destination help us discuss the appropriate offer.
In leather processing, sodium formate is a related process chemical with a different role from the free acid. Calcium formate is another formate salt; the construction-grade product has a different application and cannot be treated as an equivalent liquid acid.
For acid selection in pH-controlled processes, compare the requirements for glacial acetic acid and citric acid. Acid strength, concentration, compatibility and the intended process must be considered before making a substitution.
Key information for document requests, quotations, and supply planning.
Tell us which documents your procurement team needs. Before an order, we will check whether the quoted source can provide them for the offered lot.
Send the CAS number, grade, quantity, packing preference and destination.
Ask whether samples, trial quantities or repeat orders are possible. We will check each request against the sourced product and current offer.
Product-specific conditions are confirmed before order.
