Formic Acid 85% – Essential Industrial Acid for Agriculture, Leather, and Chemical Synthesis
We supply high-concentration Formic Acid. This versatile organic acid acts as a powerful preservative, acidifier, and antibacterial agent. Consequently, farmers and manufacturers rely on Formic Acid for silage preservation and animal feed processing. Moreover, Formic Acid serves as a critical reagent in leather tanning, textile dyeing, and rubber production.
Core Applications for Formic Acid 85% in Industry
This fundamental chemical serves multiple high-volume sectors with its unique properties.
First, Formic Acid serves as a highly effective silage additive and feed preservative. It rapidly lowers pH to inhibit spoilage and enhance nutritional value. Therefore, Formic Acid is indispensable in modern livestock farming and forage management.
Second, Formic Acid acts as a key deliming and pickling agent in leather processing. It prepares hides for tanning by removing lime and adjusting pH. Furthermore, Formic Acid improves leather quality and processing speed in tanneries globally.
Third, Formic Acid functions as a versatile coagulant in natural rubber production. It efficiently coagulates latex into solid rubber. Thus, Formic Acid is a staple chemical for rubber plantations and processing plants.
Finally, chemical plants utilize Formic Acid as a precursor and catalyst in synthesis, notably for producing pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other organic chemicals.
