Formic Acid Scientific Reagent Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12653

The Formic Acid Reagent is a corrosive organic acid used for controlled acid-base demonstrations, carboxylic-acid chemistry, solution preparation, and supervised chemical-analysis procedures. It is suitable for trained chemistry teachers, laboratory technicians, authorised school and college laboratories, distributors, and procurement teams requiring verified concentration, SDS review, and safe acid handling.

Product Description

Formic Acid Reagent from School Equipments India is prepared for the laboratory chemicals, chemical-analysis reagents, and organic acid reagents category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so concentration, grade, assay, pack size, bottle type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before catalogue upload or ordering.

Formic acid is also called methanoic acid. Its chemical formula is HCOOH, also written as CH₂O₂, and its CAS number is 64-18-6. The supplied product may be concentrated acid or an aqueous solution, so the final concentration must be confirmed from the label and COA.

Key Features

• Organic acid reagent: suitable for controlled procedures where formic acid or methanoic acid is specified.
• Formula HCOOH: useful for carboxylic-acid chemistry, stoichiometry, and solution-preparation calculations.
• Concentration confirmation: essential because formic acid is commonly supplied in different aqueous strengths.
• Corrosive-acid handling: users must protect eyes, skin, clothing, and respiratory zone as directed by SDS.
• Compatibility control: store away from strong oxidizers, strong bases, incompatible acids, and reactive metals.
• Procurement-safe listing: unverified pack size, assay, concentration, and documents are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Formic Acid

1. Read the current SDS, COA, product label, and laboratory risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm concentration, grade, assay, bottle type, and method suitability before dispensing.
3. Use in a fume hood or approved ventilated area when vapour exposure is possible.
4. Wear chemical splash goggles, compatible gloves, lab coat, and SDS-specified PPE.
5. Dispense only the minimum quantity required by the authorised procedure.
6. When dilution is required, add acid slowly to water with stirring and cooling; do not add water into concentrated acid.
7. Label prepared solutions with name, concentration, date, preparer, and hazard information.
8. Collect residues and contaminated materials according to institutional corrosive chemical-waste procedures.

Safety note: Formic acid is corrosive and may be flammable depending on concentration. Students should use it only under trained teacher or laboratory-technician supervision with PPE, ventilation, acid-dilution control, and current SDS access.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a labelled, acid-compatible chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong bases, reactive metals, incompatible acids, heat, food items, and unauthorised users.
• Inspect bottle seals, labels, leakage, corrosion, concentration details, and expiry or retest date before use.
• Dispose of expired, leaking, contaminated, or unlabelled stock through approved hazardous-waste procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Formic Acid used for in a laboratory?

Formic Acid is used for authorised acid-base demonstrations, carboxylic-acid studies, solution preparation, pH work, neutralisation practicals, and chemical-analysis procedures where formic acid is specifically required.

What is the CAS number of formic acid?

The CAS number of formic acid is 64-18-6. This number should be used to match the SDS, COA, product label, and procurement record.

What is the formula of formic acid?

The formula of formic acid is HCOOH, also written as CH₂O₂. Its molecular weight is about 46.03 g/mol.

Is formic acid the same as methanoic acid?

Yes. Methanoic acid is the IUPAC name for formic acid. The exact supplied concentration should still be confirmed from the label and COA.

Is formic acid hazardous?

Yes. Formic acid is corrosive and may be flammable depending on concentration. Users must follow SDS-based PPE, ventilation, storage, spill-control, and disposal procedures.

Can formic acid be used in school laboratories?

Yes, it can be used only in supervised school and college laboratories when teachers or technicians control PPE, ventilation, dispensing, dilution, labelling, storage, and disposal.
