PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium formate, a calcium salt of formic acid, is synthesized through the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide or formaldehyde with calcium compounds in an aqueous solution. This versatile compound serves multiple roles including being an aggregate for cementitious materials and an additive in oil emulsion processing.
Properties:Slightly hygroscopic with a mildly bitter flavor, calcium formate is neutral, non-toxic, and water-soluble. Its aqueous solutions are neutral, and its solubility varies minimally with temperature, dissolving at 16g/100g water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g water at 100ºC.
Construction/ Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
Widely used in construction as a cement rapid solidification agent, lubricant, and early strength agent, calcium formate accelerates cement hardening and reduces setting time. Particularly beneficial in winter, it prevents slow condensation due to low temperatures, enabling quick cement stripping and enhancing early strength. The dosage increases with decreasing temperature, and even at 0.3-0.5% in summer, it delivers significant early-strength effects.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
As an innovative feed additive, calcium formate boosts livestock and poultry weight gain. Specifically, adding it to piglet feed enhances appetite and reduces diarrhea. In the first weeks post-weaning, incorporating 1.5% calcium formate in feed raises piglet growth rates by over 12% and improves feed conversion by 4%.

APPLICATION AREA
Calcium Formate's Main Functions in Animal Feed
1. Inhibits bacterial growth.
2. Enhances nutrient absorption.
3. Boosts growth rates.
4. Improves feed digestibility.
As a new feed additive, calcium formate enhances livestock and poultry weight. Piglet feed additives with calcium formate promote appetite and reduce diarrhea. In the initial weeks post-weaning, adding 1.5% calcium formate to feed enhances piglet growth rates by over 12% and increases feed conversion by 4%.
Calcium Formate's Main Functions in Fertilizers
1. Stabilizes biofilm structures and maintains cell integrity.
2. Prevents premature aging.
3. Stabilizes cell walls.
4. Extends storage periods.
Extensive Use of Calcium Formate in Construction
Calcium formate is employed as a cement quick coagulant, lubricant, and early strength agent. It accelerates cement hardening and shortens coagulation time. Especially useful in winter construction, it prevents delayed condensation at low temperatures, enhances early cement strength, and facilitates timely use.
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%. The lower the temperature, the more you should add. Even in summer, an addition of 0.2-0.5% will yield significant early strength. The most significant advantage is that it does not corrode steel and does not pollute the environment.
Ideal for cementation in oil drilling operations.
An essential additive for petroleum and natural gas exploration, excellent for well completion and cementation in oil drilling.
Calcium formate is widely used in the leather industry as a masking agent during the chrome-tanning process.
Adding calcium formate to the tanning formulation allows for faster and more efficient chrome penetration in the leather. It can also serve as a substitute for formic acid in the pickling process.
Industry grade calcium formate:
For compound fertilizers, and leather production.
Applications in tanning, adhesives & glue, dyestuff, and pigments.
