Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid and a highly versatile chemical used in industrial manufacturing, agriculture, textiles, and specialty applications. Known for its strong acidity and excellent reducing properties, it is widely applied in leather tanning, rubber production, textile dyeing, and livestock feed preservation. Its effectiveness as a preservative and antibacterial agent makes it especially valuable in animal nutrition and silage treatment, where it enhances shelf life and reduces spoilage.
Beyond agriculture and textiles, formic acid serves as a reagent, pH adjuster, and intermediate in numerous chemical processes. It plays an important role in pharmaceutical synthesis, cleaning products, de-icing agents, and electroplating, as well as in the production of formate esters and specialty solvents. With its broad functionality, cost efficiency, and environmental compatibility, formic acid remains an essential raw material across industries seeking high-performance and sustainable chemical solutions.
