Features Of Eastman Formic Acid 99.7%

  1. High-purity grade (≥99.7% assay) ensures consistent reactivity and minimal impurity interference in sensitive chemical syntheses.

  2. Low residual water content (<0.2%) enhances stability and reduces side reactions in esterification and formylation processes.

  3. Controlled low levels of key impurities—such as sulfuric acid (<5 ppm), iron (<1 ppm), and non-volatile residue (<10 ppm)—support stringent quality requirements.

  4. Manufactured under rigorous Eastman quality systems compliant with ISO 9001, ensuring batch-to-batch reliability and full traceability.

  5. Available in industrial-grade packaging options including carbon steel drums and ISO tanks, optimized for safe handling and logistics.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Formic Acid 99.7%

  1. As a reducing agent and acid catalyst in pharmaceutical intermediates synthesis, including active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing.

  2. In leather tanning operations for pH adjustment and deliming, delivering uniform collagen fiber swelling and softness.

  3. As a co-catalyst and hydrogen source in heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation reactions.

  4. In silage preservation for livestock feed, where its rapid pH suppression inhibits spoilage microorganisms without residual toxicity concerns.

  5. As a building block in the production of formate salts (e.g., sodium formate, calcium formate) used in de-icing and oilfield drilling fluids.
