Sodium Formate in Agra
Sodium Formate is a high-purity, white crystalline powder with the chemical formula $HCOONa$. It is the sodium salt of formic acid and is widely recognized for its excellent buffering capacity, stabilizing properties, and environmental safety. As a versatile industrial chemical, it is primarily used in the leather tanning industry, textile dyeing, and as a critical raw material in the synthesis of sodium hydrosulfite and formic acid.
Major Applications:
1. Leather industry as tanning agent
2. Oil Drilling field / Oilfield chemicals : In exploratory drilling, high-density saturated sodium formate solution can enhance machines’ high-temperature resistance, prevent rust and exhibit microbial degradation functions. The use of sodium formate helps stabilize the rock layer and reduce the impact on the soil environment during oil explorations.
3. As a de-icer on airport runways due to its effectiveness and less contamination than Salt. It melts the ice rapidly without damaging the asphalt
4. Pulp and paper industry - In production of sodium hydrosulphite / dithionite (a bleaching agent)
5. Textile industry - fabric dyeing and printing process
6.Construction industry
7. Electroplating process
8. As animal feed additive - used as a dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) enhancer
9. Formic acid manufacturing
