BASF’s customers use formic acid and mixtures containing formic acid in multiple applications. In animal nutrition, these products serve to improve feed hygiene and digestion, and as a result allow food of animal origin to be produced in a particularly ecoefficient manner.
BASF is the world’s leading producer of formic acid, with production plants at its integrated Verbund sites in Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Nanjing, China.
