Formic acid, systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid. The chemical composition is HCOOH. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants.
Formic acid is also used in place of mineral acids for various cleaning products such as limescale remover and toilet bowl cleaner. Some formate esters are artificial flavorings and perfumes.
Beekeepers use formic acid as a miticide against the tracheal mite (Acarapis woodi) and the Varroa destructor mite and Varroa jacobsoni mite.
Formic acid application has been reported to be an effective treatment for warts.
Formic acid can be used as a fuel (it can be used directly in formic acid fuel cells and indirectly in hydrogen fuel cells).
It is possible to use formic acid as an intermediary to produce isobutanol from CO2 using microbes.
Formic acid is often used as a component of the mobile phase in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) analysis and separation techniques for the separation of hydrophobic macromolecules, such as peptides, proteins, and more complex structures including intact viruses. Especially when paired with mass spectrometry detection, formic acid offers several advantages over the more traditionally used phosphoric acid.
