PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium formate, the calcium salt of formic acid, is synthesized via the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide, or by formaldehyde interacting with a calcium compound in an aqueous solution. This versatile compound finds its use as an aggregate in cementitious building materials and an additive in processing oil emulsions.
Properties:Slightly hygroscopic with a mildly bitter flavor. It is neutral, non-toxic, and water-soluble. Its aqueous solution remains neutral. Notably, the solubility of calcium formate remains relatively stable with temperature changes, being 16g/100g water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g water at 100ºC.
Construction/ Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
In construction, it serves as a rapid cement solidification agent, lubricant, and early-strength agent for building mortar and various concretes. It accelerates cement hardening, reducing setting times. Particularly valuable in winter, calcium formate prevents delays due to low temperatures. As an early-strength agent, it facilitates quick cement stripping and early utilization. The dosage of calcium formate is adjusted with temperature drop, showing significant early-strength effects even with 0.3-0.5% application in summer.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
A novel feed additive, calcium formate enhances the weight of livestock and poultry. In piglet feed, it stimulates appetite and decreases diarrhea rates. Incorporating 1.5% calcium formate in piglet feed post-weaning boosts growth rates by over 12% and improves feed conversion by 4%.

APPLICATION AREA
Calcium Formate's main function 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 enhances weight gain in livestock and poultry. When included in piglet feed, it stimulates appetite and significantly reduces the incidence of diarrhea. Incorporating 1.5% calcium formate in feed during the first weeks post-weaning can increase piglet growth rates by over 12% and improve feed conversion rates by 4%.
Calcium Formate's main function in Fertilizer.
1. Stabilizes biofilm structures to maintain cell integrity.
2. Prevents premature aging.
3. Stabilizes cell walls.
4. Extends the storage period.
Calcium formate has extensive applications in construction.
It serves as a quick-setting agent, lubricant, and early strength enhancer for cement, expediting the hardening process and reducing coagulation time. This is particularly advantageous during winter construction to mitigate slow condensation at low temperatures. Calcium formate improves cement strength, facilitating immediate utility, and acts as an accelerator for concrete foundations.
Accelerator for cement-based dry mortars.
Dosage: For dry mortar and concrete, the recommended usage is 0.5-1.0% per ton, with a maximum of 2.8%. As temperatures drop, increase the amount. Even in summer, adding 0.2-0.5% yields early strength benefits. The primary advantage is that it does not corrode steel and is environmentally friendly.
Ideal for cementation in oil drilling.
Serves as an additive for petroleum and natural gas exploration, and is effective in well completion and oil drilling cementation.
Extensively used in the leather industry as a masking agent during the chrome-tanning process.
In tannage formulation, calcium formate ensures faster, more efficient chrome penetration in leather. It can also act as a substitute for formic acid in the pickling process.
Industry grade calcium formate:
Applications: compound fertilizers, leather
tanning, adhesives & glue, dyestuff, pigment
