Potassium Formate (For Carbon Black) Manufacturers, Exporters & Suppliers - Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd in Amritsar

Potassium Formate for Carbon Black is a high-purity specialized additive used as a precise structure modifier and flame ionizer during the furnace process. For the manufacturing sectors serving Amritsar and the surrounding industrial zones, our Potassium Formate ($HCOOK$) acts as a critical potassium source to control the secondary structure (DBP absorption) of Carbon Black. This ensures the production of high-quality grades used in the tire, rubber, and ink industries. As a trusted manufacturer, we offer both high-concentration liquid and crystalline solid formats, engineered for low impurity profiles and consistent ionization rates, allowing Amritsar-based producers to achieve exact product specifications and superior dispersion properties.

Role in Carbon Black Production

Carbon black is produced by the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons. During manufacturing, additives like potassium formate improve reaction efficiency, enhance product quality, and provide process stability.

In carbon black production, especially in specialty carbon blacks and high-quality carbon blacks, structural inhibitors play a pivotal role. Before the 1990s, sodium hydroxide was generally used as a structural inhibitor; with the development of special carbon black, it was gradually replaced by potassium carbonate; however, due to the low solubility of potassium carbonate, it is easy to layer after dissolution (the upper and lower concentrations in the solution tank Non-uniformity), which leads to easy clogging of the nozzle and unstable quality of carbon black. Since 2004, we have cooperated with a multinational carbon black company in the United States to replace potassium carbonate with potassium formate for experimental production of carbon black.

The effect is very good. Through nearly ten years of promotion, potassium formate has become the mainstream of structural inhibitors in carbon black production. At the same time, the ash content in carbon black production is also a very important indicator. Therefore, in order to ensure that the ash content in carbon black meets the standard, certain requirements are also set for the toxic and harmful substances in potassium formate.
