Ammonium Formate Powder

उत्पाद वर्णन

Ammonium formate (NH4HCO2) is a white crystalline solid or powder known for its versatility in various chemical applications.
It serves as a key reagent in the synthesis of formic acid and its derivatives and is widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. In catalytic processes, ammonium formate acts as a hydrogenation catalyst for aldehydes and ketones and as a reducing agent in the production of precious metal nanoparticles. Its high solubility in water and alcohol makes it valuable in buffer solutions for chromatography and other biochemical applications.

 
Despite its low toxicity, handling ammonium formate requires standard safety precautions, including protective clothing and adequate ventilation, due to its potential to cause irritation upon contact or inhalation.

 
Environmentally, ammonium formate is biodegradable, presenting a low environmental impact when used responsibly. Its multifaceted utility and relatively safe profile make it an essential compound in both industrial and laboratory settings.
