Rubber Industry Applications of Formic Acid
In the rubber industry, Formic Acid functions as a coagulant. During the production of synthetic rubber, once the rubber latex reaches a certain degree of polymerization, adding formic acid causes rubber particles to coagulate into larger aggregates, facilitating subsequent separation and processing. For instance, in the production of polybutadiene rubber, adding an appropriate amount of formic acid accelerates the coagulation of rubber latex, boosts production efficiency, and ensures stable quality of the final rubber products.
