Formic Acid BP Ph Eur Grade Specifications:
CH2O2 --- 46.03 --- CAS 64-18-6
DEFINITION
Content: 98.0 per cent mlm to 100.5 per cent mlm.
CHARACTERS
Appearance: Clear, colourless, volatile liquid.
Solubility: Miscible with water, with ethanol (96 per cent) and with methylene chloride.
IDENTIFICATION
First identification: A, B.
Second identification: B, C, D.
A. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry (2.2.24).
B. A 100 g/L solution is strongly acid.
C. To 2.0 mL of dilute sodium hydroxide solution add 0.05 mL of phenolphthalein solution. Mix and add dropwise the substance to be examined until the solution becomes colourless. To 1 mL of this solution add 0.5 mL of silver nitrate solution and mix. Initially no change occurs. Slowly (quicker upon heating), the solution turns greyish and turbid due to the precipitation of metallic silver.

Fire Extinguishing Media: Use water spray or fog. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Never direct a water jet in the container to prevent any splashing of the product which could cause spreading of the fire. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, auto-ignition or explosion.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Keep away from sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Do not inhale dust, vapors, mist, or gas. Avoid dust formation. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
Large liquid spillages should be contained by use of sand or another inert material. Dyke to collect large liquid spills. Pump up the product into a spare container suitably labeled. The spillage should be transferred to a suitable container and recovered or disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Because of the danger of spontaneous combustion, any combustible material, such as cloth, used for cleaning spillages, should be saturated with water, and disposed of promptly, preferably by incineration.

Precautions for safe handling: Do not ingest. Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
