PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium Formate is the calcium salt of formic acid, crafted through the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide or formaldehyde with calcium compounds in an aqueous solution. This versatile compound serves multiple purposes: as an aggregate for cementitious building materials and as an additive for processing oil emulsions, among other applications.
Properties:Slightly hygroscopic with a mildly bitter flavor, Calcium Formate is neutral and non-toxic. It is soluble in water, with a neutral aqueous solution. Its solubility remains nearly constant with temperature changes, dissolving 16g/100g in water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g at 100ºC.
Construction/Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
In construction, Calcium Formate acts as a rapid solidification agent, lubricant, and early strength enhancer for building mortar and various concretes. It accelerates cement hardening, shortens setting times, and is particularly effective in winter, preventing slow condensation due to low temperatures. As an early-strength agent, it allows for quick cement stripping, enabling the cement to achieve usable strength swiftly. The required amount of Calcium Formate increases as temperatures drop, but even in summer, a 0.3-0.5% addition significantly enhances early strength.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
As an innovative feed additive, Calcium Formate boosts the weight of livestock and poultry. When used in piglet feed, it enhances appetite and reduces the incidence of diarrhea. In the initial weeks post-weaning, incorporating 1.5% Calcium Formate in feed can increase piglet growth rates by over 12% and improve feed conversion rates by 4%.

APPLICATION AREA
Calcium Formate's Main Functions in Animal Feed:
1. Inhibits bacterial growth.
2. Enhances absorption.
3. Boosts growth rates.
4. Improves feed digestibility.
As an innovative feed additive, Calcium Formate increases the weight of livestock and poultry, enhances piglet appetite, and reduces diarrhea rates. During the first weeks after weaning, incorporating 1.5% Calcium Formate into the feed boosts piglet growth rates by over 12% and improves feed conversion rates by 4%.
Calcium Formate's Main Functions in Fertilizer:
1. Stabilizes biofilm structures and maintains cell integrity.
2. Prevents premature aging.
3. Stabilizes cell walls.
4. Extends storage periods.
Calcium Formate's Versatile Uses in Construction:
It functions as a cement quick coagulant, lubricant, and early strength agent, accelerating the cement hardening rate and shortening coagulation times. Particularly useful in winter construction, it prevents slow condensation at low temperatures, enhances cement strength, and enables prompt utilization. It also serves 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 of 2.8%. As temperatures drop, increase the dosage. Even at 0.2-0.5% in summer, it delivers noticeable early strength. The greatest advantage is that it doesn't corrode steel or pollute the environment.
Ideal for oil drilling cementation.
Perfect as additives for petroleum and natural gas exploration. Essential for well completion or oil drilling cementation.
Widely utilized in the leather industry, calcium formate serves as a masking agent in the chrome-tanning process.
Adding calcium formate to the tanning formulation ensures quicker and more efficient chrome penetration in the leather. It can also be used as an alternative to formic acid in the pickling operation.

Compound fertilizers, leather
Tanning, adhesives & glues, dyestuffs, pigments
