1. In Organic Synthesis
It's often used as a reducing agent. For example, Ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2
can be used in reactions to convert certain functional groups like nitro groups to amino groups.
2. As a Buffering Agent
In some chemical reactions or analytical procedures where a stable pH needs to be maintained, ammonium formate can act as a buffering agent.
3. In the Pharmaceutical Industry
Ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2 can be involved in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds as an intermediate or a reagent in specific chemical reactions.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Temperature
Keep Ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2 at room temperature, around 15 - 25°C (59 - 77°F). Ammonium formate relatively stable within this range and doesn't require extreme cold or heat storage.
2. Sealed Container
Use an airtight container. Ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2 can absorb moisture from the air (hygroscopic), so a tight seal prevents Ammonium formate from getting wet and potentially clumping or reacting with the absorbed water.
3. Away from Heat and Flames
Although Ammonium formate not highly flammable, it's still a good practice to store Ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2 away from sources of heat and open flames to avoid any unexpected reactions or decomposition.
4. Separation from Incompatible Substances
Avoid storing Ammonium formate near strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases. These can react with ammonium formate CAS 540-69-2, so Ammonium formate should be kept separate.
