Description
Formic acid ROTIPURAN® min. 85 %, p.a., is an analytical-grade carboxylic acid for laboratory reagents and reference work, identified by CAS number 64-18-6 and the empirical formula CH₂O₂. It has a molar mass of 46,02 g/mol, a density of 1,19 g/cm³, a boiling point of 106 °C, and a flash point of 65 °C, giving a clear physical profile for handling and method setup. The product is a. quality. ROTIPURAN® branding denotes the manufacturer’s analytical line; the material comes from manufacturer Carl ROTH for routine and specialised analytical use. Laboratories employ it in sample preparation, mobile-phase or reagent formulation, and procedures where a defined minimum 85 % formic acid content is required. EG number 200-579-1 supports regulatory and catalogue cross-checks. The combination of stated purity grade, pack size, and physicochemical data allows straightforward integration into existing analytical protocols without extending beyond the manufacturer’s published specifications.
