Formic acid, also known as methanoic acid, serves various industrial applications owing to its unique properties.
One significant use of formic acid is in the leather industry, where it is employed during the tanning process to
preserve and soften hides. Additionally, it finds application as a coagulating agent in the rubber industry during the
production of latex. Formic acid is also utilized as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed.
In terms of packaging, formic acid is typically stored and transported in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers
or stainless steel drums to prevent corrosion or chemical reactions. The packaging is designed to ensure the integrity
of the acid, preventing leakage and maintaining its purity. Proper labeling and safety instructions are essential on the
packaging to guide handling and storage, given the corrosive nature of formic acid.
