Organic Acid for Industrial & Agricultural Applications
Formic Acid (HCOOH), also known as methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid with a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. It is valued for its strong acidity, antibacterial properties, and ability to act as a reducing agent. Commonly used in leather tanning, silage preservation, latex coagulation, and as a feed additive, Formic Acid is a vital component across industries requiring reliable pH control, disinfection, and chemical reactivity. Our Formic Acid is available in concentrations ranging from 85% to 99% to meet diverse operational needs.
