Drug Information
FORMATE ION IS EXTENSIVELY OXIDIZED IN VIVO...|GIVEN ORALLY TO NORMAL HUMAN, ABOUT 2.1% WAS ELIMINATED AS FORMIC ACID IN URINE IN 24 HR AFTER 2.96 & 4.4 G OF NA FORMATE.
Fresh air, rest.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
FORMATES CAN BE METABOLIZED TO FORMIC ACID, HENCE TREATMENT AS FOR METHANOL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
...APPEARS TO HAVE A LOW TOXICITY (10 G BY MOUTH WITHOUT ILL EFFECTS IN MAN).

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol.
Cough. Sore throat.
Redness. Pain.
Sodium formate Use and Manufacturing
REACTION OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE & CARBON MONOXIDE|CARBON MONOXIDE & SODIUM HYDROXIDE ARE HEATED UNDER PRESSURE, ALSO FROM PENTAERYTHRITOL MANUFACTURE.
Sodium formate is used in the production of formic acid, oxalic acid, formamide and sodium hydroxide, as a camouflage acid in the leather industry, chromium tanning, as a catalyst and stabilizer. In the food industry, it is used as a food preservative and used for the preservation of soy sauce, vinegar, low-salt pickles, fruit juice, jam, fruit wine, soda, beverage syrup, tobacco, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used for the preparation of sedatives such as sodium cyanamide and the antiseptic of traditional Chinese medicine pill syrup. It is also used for anti-corrosion and anti-mildew of anti-rust paper, latex paint, shoe polish, glue and fabric. In addition, it can also be used to make mordants in the dye industry, plasticizers in the plastics industry, and as a raw material in the perfume industry.
