 Ammonium formate Usage

Pure ammonium formate decomposes into formamide and water when heated, and this is its primary use in industry. Formic acid can also be obtained by reacting ammonium formate with a dilute acid, and since ammonium formate is also produced from formic acid, it can serve as a way of storing formic acid.
Ammonium formate can also be used in palladium on carbon (Pd / C) reduction of functional groups. In the presence of Pd / C, ammonium formate decomposes to hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.
Ammonium formate can be used for reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones (Leuckart reaction)
Ammonium formate can be used as a buffer in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and is suitable for use with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). .

Ammonium formate Packaging and Shipping

Packaging:25 kg/package , as customer’s request

Shipping:It can be according to the customer’s request

Ammonium formate production method

It is derived from the neutralization of formic acid and ammonia. The formic acid and water are frozen, ammonia gas is passed under stirring to make the pH value 7-7.5, the temperature is lowered to -5°C, and the filter is shaken to obtain ammonium formate.

Ammonium formate storage

Store at RT.

The role of ammonium formate

Ammonium formate is an excellent antiseptic and preservative in foods, foods, flavors and drinks, but it has no antioxidant effect. Vitamin C (Vitamin C) has reductive properties that can eliminate carcinogenic nitroso and free radicals that cause aging, so it has the effects of anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-scurvy, anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory, and disinfection. It is an excellent anti-oxidant preservative in foods, foods, tastes and drinks.
