applications

Formic acid is principally used as a preservative antibacterial agent in livestock feed, in dying textiles, tanning leather and electroplating; in the poultry industry, it is sometimes added with feed to kill E. coli bacteria; it acts as a reducing agent for the catalytic reduction of nitrate in water.
