———-FORMIC ACID

  1. Advantages of formic acid for cleaning:

Effective and easier descaling: 

  • Calcium salts form when calcium carbonate is dissolved by means of an acid like formic or phosphoric. The more readily soluble this salt, the lower the risk of salt deposits that reduce acid effectiveness. The calcium salt of formic acid is about ten times more soluble than that of phosphoric acid.

Excellent environmental compatibility: 

  • Formic acid does not release phosphate or nitrate by-products that pose a potential risk of eutrophication. Formic acid degradation consumes the least amount of oxygen among organic acids.
  • Benefits of Formic Acid used as preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed
  • Inhibits harmful bacteria through the acidification potential of formic acid
  • Supports digestibility of compound feed for better feed conversion and vitality
  • Not carcinogenic, does not promote antibiotic resistance, and can be administered without a Veterinary Feed Directive
  • As buffered mixture, formic acid can maintain carbon steel infrastructure longer with less corrosiveness 

3. Formic acid is used in the manufacture of leather hides, and to set and retain colors in textile processing operations. It is a more efficient pH reducing alternative to acetic acid while also lowering waste water treatment costs since it contributes 1/3 the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).

——————-CALCIUM FORMATE——————–

Calcium Formate is an additive designed to significantly improve the qualities and properties of tile adhesives. As an additive it prolongs open time, improves adhesions and is a highly efficient strength accelerator which is of importance for tile mortars where you need acceleration and low skin formation. Even improves water stability, pliability and homogeneity. Calcium Formate also used in concrete – acceleration and improves water stability and leather tanning.

————–POTASSIUM FORMATE—————-

The advantage of Formate Salts used as deicing agent

Compared with its acetate counterpart, potassium formate is “greener”.

Formate salts are less corrosive and have a lesser impact on surrounding flora, which makes them more plant- and pet-friendly. Entry breaks down hydrogen bonds formed when water freezes, reducing the freezing point of water to approximately minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, once the product is sprayed, it removes thin layers of ice and snow and prevents new snow from accumulating or icing.
