Formic Acid 99-100%, High Purity Grade, Liquid, 551 lb Drum
Formic Acid, a colorless to yellow liquid with a pungent odor, is the strongest of the simple, unsaturated carboxylic acids. It has been used for many years as an environmentally friendly alternative in industries such as textiles, natural rubber and leather processing. Formic acid is miscible with water and has excellent properties in controlling acidity, effectively restricting microbial growth and is readily biodegradable.
BASF Formic Acid has a product carbon footprint (PCF) verified by the Carbon Trust. This accrediting body has labelled BASF Formic Acid as Lower than Market, which confirms that it has a cradle-to-gate PCF that is demonstrably lower than the market average
