Sodium Formate Industrial Grade is a white crystalline powder or granules used primarily in industrial applications requiring a buffering agent, de-icing agent, or chemical intermediate. It offers high purity suitable for various manufacturing processes but does not meet food-grade standards. This grade is widely applied in leather tanning, textile dyeing, concrete additives, and as a corrosion inhibitor in oil and gas industries.
Sodium Formate Industrial Grade
Primary Uses
- De-icing Agent
- Used as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional road salt for de-icing and anti-icing of roads, runways, and bridges.
- Leather Tanning
- Acts as a buffering agent in chrome tanning processes to control pH and improve leather quality.
- Textile Industry
- Used in dyeing and printing processes as a buffering and fixing agent to enhance dye uptake and color fastness.
- Oil & Gas Industry
- Functions as a corrosion inhibitor in oilfield drilling fluids and gas sweetening processes.
- Concrete Additive
- Employed as a set retarder and plasticizer to improve concrete workability and curing.
Secondary Uses
- Chemical Intermediate
- Used in the synthesis of formic acid and other chemical compounds.
- Wastewater Treatment
- Helps in adjusting pH and removing heavy metals from industrial effluents.
- Paper Industry
- Acts as a buffering agent during pulp and paper manufacturing.
