PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium formate, the calcium salt derived from formic acid, is synthesized through the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide or formaldehyde with a calcium compound in an aqueous solution. This versatile compound serves as an essential aggregate for cementitious building materials and as an additive for processing oil emulsions.
Properties:Calcium formate is slightly hygroscopic with a mildly bitter taste. It is neutral, non-toxic, and soluble in water. Its aqueous solution remains neutral, and the solubility is relatively stable with temperature changes, being 16g/100g water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g water at 100ºC.
Construction/Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
In the construction industry, calcium formate acts as a rapid cement solidification agent, lubricant, and early strength agent for building mortar and various concrete types. It accelerates the hardening of cement and shortens setting times. Particularly in winter, it mitigates slow condensation due to low temperatures. As an early-strength agent, it allows cement to strip quickly and gain strength rapidly, enabling faster utilization. Usage increases as temperatures drop, and even a minimal application of 0.3-0.5% in summer yields significant early-strength effects.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
As an innovative feed additive, calcium formate enhances livestock and poultry growth rates. Including calcium formate in piglet feed promotes appetite and reduces diarrhea rates. In the initial weeks post-weaning, incorporating 1.5% calcium formate in the feed can increase piglet growth rates by over 12% and improve feed conversion rates by 4%.

APPLICATION AREA
Calcium Formate's Essential Role in Animal Feed:
1. Inhibits bacterial growth.
2. Enhances nutrient absorption.
3. Boosts growth rates.
4. Improves feed digestibility.
As a novel feed additive, calcium formate aids in weight gain for livestock and poultry. In piglet feed, it enhances appetite and reduces diarrhea rates significantly. During the first weeks post-weaning, 1.5% calcium formate in their feed boosts growth rates by more than 12% and increases feed conversion efficiency by 4%.
Calcium Formate's Functions in Fertilizers:
1. Stabilizes biofilm structures and maintains cell integrity.
2. Prevents premature aging of plants.
3. Reinforces cell walls.
4. Extends storage periods.
Wide Applications in Construction:
In construction, calcium formate functions as a cement quick coagulant, lubricant, and early strength agent. It accelerates cement hardening and shortens coagulation times, especially useful during winter to prevent sluggish condensation at low temperatures. It enhances cement strength and expedites project timelines, serving as a crucial 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 of 2.8%. As temperatures drop, increase the dosage. Even in summer, a 0.2-0.5% addition will significantly enhance early strength. The primary benefits include no corrosion to steel and no environmental pollution.
Ideal for the cementation process in oil drilling applications.
Additives for petroleum and natural gas exploration. Perfect for well completion or the cementation of oil drilling.
Calcium formate is widely employed in the leather industry as a masking agent during the chrome-tanning process.
Adding calcium formate to the tannage formulation accelerates and enhances the chrome penetration in leather. It can also substitute for formic acid in the pickling process.
Industrial-grade calcium formate applications:
Ideal for compound fertilizers and the leather industry.
Suitable for tanning, adhesives & glues, dyestuffs, and pigments.
