The historic production of Fromic acid isn't discussed. According to everything I've read, FA is used in rubber production. However, I doubt they were turning over ant-hills to produce the acid to make tons of rubber between 1770-1855... so how were they getting the acid at that point?

[edit] HCO2H
Is it not more normal for a carboxylic acid group to be written out in full i.e. COOH, leaving the formula as HCOOH in the first paragraph?
