Description
Formic Acid 85% Supplier & Exporter in India
Formic Acid is the simplest carboxylic acid and one of the most useful, because it is a strong acid that leaves nothing behind – it decomposes cleanly to water and carbon monoxide rather than depositing salts. That is why tanneries, dye houses and rubber plantations chose it over mineral acids and never went back.
The 85 percent concentration is the general-purpose industrial grade, and Rexus Pharma Chem LLP supplies and exports it in bulk to leather tanneries, textile processors, rubber and latex operations, animal feed and silage companies across India, Africa and the Gulf. Minimum order quantity is 500 kg.

Storage and Handling
Formic Acid is corrosive and its vapour is severely irritating to eyes and airways. Store in vented, corrosion-resistant containers in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, strong bases and oxidising agents. It slowly decomposes to carbon monoxide, which can pressurise sealed containers, so vented closures matter. Handle with full PPE and read the MSDS supplied with the consignment before handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy 85% or 99%?
85 percent is the general-purpose industrial grade and the usual choice for leather, textile and silage use. 99 percent is chosen where water content must be minimised, typically in chemical synthesis and specialty applications. We supply both.
Why do containers need to be vented?
Formic acid decomposes slowly into carbon monoxide, which builds pressure in a sealed container. Vented closures prevent that pressure rising to a dangerous level.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity is 500 kg.
Do you supply COA and MSDS?
Yes, with every consignment. The material is corrosive, so read the MSDS before handling.
