· Decomposes upon heating to 60-80°C in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to form carbon monoxide and water.
· Can undergo esterification with alcohols to form formate esters.
· Corrosive to many metals.
Product Usage
Feed Industry: Used as an efficient preservative and antibacterial agent in silage and compound feed to inhibit mold and bacterial growth.
Leather Industry: Used in deliming and bating processes of leather, and as a tanning agent.
Textile Industry: Employed as a leveling agent for acid dyeing, and as a pH regulator and neutralizing agent.
Rubber Industry: Serves as a coagulating agent for natural rubber latex.
Chemical Synthesis: An important intermediate for producing formates, formate esters, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.
Cleaning Agent: Used for descaling and cleaning equipment (due to its ability to dissolve scale).
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Strongly corrosive. Causes severe chemical burns to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, resulting in intense pain, blistering, and tissue damage.
· Its vapor is highly irritating and corrosive to mucous membranes (especially eyes and respiratory tract), and can cause chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
· Inhalation of high vapor concentrations can be extremely hazardous.
· Ingestion causes severe burns to the digestive tract and can be life-threatening.
Handling Protection:
· Must be handled in a fume hood or with adequate local exhaust ventilation. Strictly prevent vapor inhalation and contact.
· Imperative to wear eye protection or face shield against liquid splashes, acid-and-alkali-resistant gloves (e.g., butyl rubber), and acid-resistant clothing and apron.
· Wear an effective respirator for acid vapors depending on concentration.
· Safety showers and eye wash stations must be readily available in the immediate work area.
Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
· Keep containers tightly closed. Use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., HDPE plastic, stainless steel) for storage.
· Store separately from oxidizers, alkalis, active metal powders, etc. NEVER store or transport together.
· Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation equipment in the storage area.
Fire Fighting:
· Combustible liquid. Its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air.
· Extinguish fire using water, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
· Decomposes in fire, producing corrosive and irritating fumes including formic acid vapor and carbon monoxide.
· Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
