Formic Acid CAS No 26896-18-4
Formic acid (Formic acid), with the chemical formula HCOOH or CH2O2, is a weak electrolyte and the simplest fatty acid. It is a
colorless, transparent, fuming liquid with a strong, pungent odor. Contact with skin can cause blisters. Formic acid is commonly
found in the secretions of bees, certain ants, and caterpillars, hence it is also known as "ant acid" [12]. It dissolves in most
organic solvents, including water, ethanol, ether, and glycerol (glycerin), in any proportion. It has some solubility in
hydrocarbons (partially miscible). Formic acid is widely used in organic synthesis, medicine, rubber, disinfection, and
preservation
