 Formic acid, sodium salt (CAS NO.84050-17-9) is used in several fabric dyeing and printing processes. It is also used as a buffering agent for strong mineral acids to increase their pH.

 Formic acid, sodium salt can be prepared by reacting chloroform with an alcoholic solution of sodium hydroxide.
CHCl₃ + 4NaOH → HCOONa + 3NaCl + 2H₂O
or by reacting sodium hydroxide with chloral hydrate.
C₂HCl₃(OH)₂ + NaOH → CHCl₃ + HCOONa + H₂O
