Industrial-grade formic acid candidate from a China supplier listing, offered in common concentrations such as 85%, 90%, and 95% with drum packing options. Buyer verification should focus on CAS 64-18-6 confirmation, assay by concentration, impurity profile, water content, color, chloride/sulfate/iron limits, correct dangerous goods classification, and export document availability. The source page contains inconsistent attribute text, so this candidate should be treated as RFQ-ready but specification-confirmation required before commercial evaluation.

Applications and sourcing options
Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.
Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.
Use context
Common applications
Industrial pH adjustment or acidification applications subject to buyer validation
Textile and leather processing where formic acid specification matches the process requirement
Latex coagulation and rubber-related industrial use where permitted
Chemical intermediate or process reagent use under qualified industrial controls
Distribution repacking or resale where local regulations and DG rules are met
How we compare
Sourcing options
Compare 85%, 90%, and 95% concentration offers based on delivered cost per active content.
Request both drum and IBC quotations for volume optimization.
Ask for FOB China port and CIF destination pricing to compare logistics responsibility.
Require batch COA review before deposit for first order.
Use third-party inspection for first shipment due to inconsistent marketplace listing data.
Shortlist suppliers that provide matching SDS, COA, UN packaging proof, and export documentation without contradictions.
Human review
Compliance notes
Formic acid is commonly shipped as a corrosive dangerous good; confirm current SDS, UN number, hazard class, packing group, and transport name for the exact concentration supplied.
Typical DG reference for formic acid solutions may include UN 1779, Class 8, but buyers should verify against supplier SDS and destination transport rules.
Request SDS in English and destination-language version if required by importer or local authority.
Request COA, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin if needed, and any destination-specific import documents before order confirmation.
Do not rely on marketplace category fields alone; the listing text includes inconsistent product attributes unrelated to formic acid.
Confirm export eligibility, import requirements, and carrier acceptance before booking shipment.
Any claims about ISO certification, audited supplier status, or plant ownership should be verified with current certificates and company registration documents.
