PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium formate is the calcium salt of formic acid. This compound is synthesized through the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide, or formaldehyde with calcium compound in an aqueous solution. Widely utilized across various industries, calcium formate serves as an aggregate in cementitious building materials and as an additive for oil emulsion processing.
Properties:Slightly hygroscopic with a slightly bitter flavor, calcium formate is neutral, non-toxic, and water-soluble. Its aqueous solution remains neutral, with solubility that varies minimally with temperature: 16g/100g water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g water at 100ºC.
Construction/Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
In construction, calcium formate acts as a cement rapid solidification agent, lubricant, and early strength agent for building mortar and various concrete types. It accelerates cement hardening, reducing setting time. Particularly valuable in winter, it mitigates slow condensation due to low temperatures. As an early-strength agent, it expedites cement stripping and enhances its early intensity, allowing for quicker utilization. Even in summer, applying 0.3-0.5% calcium formate yields significant early-strength benefits.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
As a contemporary feed additive, calcium formate boosts livestock and poultry weight. For piglets, incorporating calcium formate into feed enhances appetite and reduces diarrhea rates. In the initial weeks post-weaning, a 1.5% calcium formate inclusion elevates piglet growth rates by over 12% and improves feed conversion rates by 4%.

APPLICATION AREA
Calcium Formate's primary functions in animal feed:
1. Inhibits bacterial growth.
2. Enhances nutrient absorption.
3. Boosts growth rates.
4. Improves feed digestibility.
As a modern feed additive, calcium formate increases the weight of livestock and poultry. When used in piglet feed, it enhances appetite and reduces diarrhea rates. In the first weeks post-weaning, a 1.5% calcium formate incorporation elevates piglet growth rates by over 12% and enhances feed conversion rates by 4%.
Calcium Formate's primary functions in fertilizer:
1. Stabilizes biofilm structure and maintains cell integrity.
2. Prevents premature aging.
3. Stabilizes cell walls.
4. Extends storage periods.
Calcium formate's extensive applications in construction:
Serving as a cement quick coagulant, lubricant, and early strength agent, calcium formate accelerates cement hardening and reduces setting time. Particularly beneficial in winter, it prevents slow condensation at low temperatures, enhancing cement's strength and facilitating quicker use. It acts as an accelerator for concrete bases.
Accelerator for cement-based dry mortars.
Dosage: For dry mortar and concrete, use 0.5-1.0% per ton, with a maximum amount of 2.8%. Lower temperatures require higher amounts. Even an addition of 0.2-0.5% in summer significantly boosts early strength. The standout advantage is its non-corrosive nature and environmental friendliness.
Cementation for oil drilling.
Additives for petroleum and natural gas exploration. Ideal for well completion or cementation in oil drilling.
Calcium formate is widely utilized in the leather industry as a masking agent in chrome tanning.
Adding calcium formate to tannage formulations accelerates and enhances chrome penetration in leather. It can also replace formic acid in pickling operations.
Industry-grade calcium formate:
compound fertilizers, leather
tanning, adhesive & glue, dyestuff, pigment
