PRODUCT INFORMATION
Calcium formate, the calcium salt of formic acid, is synthesized through the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide or formaldehyde with calcium compound in an aqueous solution. This versatile compound finds applications as an aggregate in cementitious building materials and as an additive for processing oil emulsions.
Properties:Calcium formate is slightly hygroscopic with a faintly bitter taste. It is neutral, non-toxic, and water-soluble. Its aqueous solution remains neutral, with solubility marginally affected by temperature variations, dissolving 16g/100g in water at 0ºC and 18.4g/100g in water at 100ºC.
Construction/Industrial Grade Calcium Formate
In construction, calcium formate serves as a cement rapid solidification agent, lubricant, and early strength enhancer. It accelerates cement hardening and shortens setting times, particularly beneficial in winter to counteract slow condensation due to low temperatures. As an early-strength agent, it facilitates quick cement stripping, allowing for rapid utilization. The required amount of calcium formate increases as temperatures decrease, yet even in summer, a 0.3-0.5% addition significantly enhances early strength.
Feed Grade Calcium Formate
As an innovative feed additive, calcium formate aids in weight gain for livestock and poultry. When added to piglet feed, it enhances appetite and reduces diarrhea rates. In the first weeks post-weaning, a 1.5% feed inclusion boosts piglet growth rates by over 12% and improves feed conversion by 4%.

Calcium formate's extensive applications in construction.
Used as a cement quick coagulant, lubricant, and early-strength agent, calcium formate accelerates cement hardening and reduces coagulation time. It is especially effective for winter construction, preventing slow condensation at low temperatures and enhancing cement strength for prompt application. Additionally, it serves as an accelerator for concrete foundations.
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%. At lower temperatures, increase the dosage. Even at 0.2-0.5% in summer, it shows significant early strength. The primary benefit is that it does not corrode steel and does not pollute the environment.
Application: Cementation of oil drilling operations.
Usage: Additives for petroleum and natural gas exploration, well completion, and cementation of oil drilling.
Leather Industry: Calcium formate is widely used as a masking agent in the chrome-tanning process.
Efficiency: Adding calcium formate to tannage formulations ensures faster and more efficient chrome penetration in leather. It can also replace formic acid in pickling operations.
Industry Grade Calcium Formate: A versatile solution for various applications.
Applications: Compound fertilizers, leather treatment.
Additional Uses: Tanning, adhesives & glue, dyestuffs, pigments.
