Product Description:
Calcium formate, with the chemical formula Ca(HCOO)?, is a white, crystalline powder. It has a slightly acidic taste and is highly soluble in water. This compound is stable under normal conditions but decomposes when heated to release carbon monoxide and other by - products. In the construction industry, calcium formate is often used as an accelerator in concrete. It significantly shortens the setting time of concrete, especially beneficial in cold weather construction as it helps concrete reach its desired strength more quickly. In the animal feed industry, it serves as a preservative and antibacterial agent. It can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in feed, thus extending the shelf - life of the feed and promoting better animal health. In the chemical industry, it can be used as a raw material for synthesizing other formate - based compounds. In the leather industry, calcium formate can be applied in the tanning process to improve the quality of leather by facilitating better penetration of tanning agents. However, like all chemicals, it requires proper handling. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations may cause skin and eye irritation, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during storage and transportation.

 

Application: 

Calcium formate has diverse applications. In construction, it accelerates concrete setting, especially useful in cold weather. For animal feed, it acts as a preservative and antibacterial agent, extending shelf - life. In the chemical industry, it serves as a raw material for formate - based compounds. In the leather industry, it improves leather quality during tanning by enhancing tanning agent penetration. Caution is required as high - concentration exposure may cause skin and eye irritation, and proper safety measures are needed for storage and transport.
