Sodium Formate in Hungary
Sodium Formate ($HCOONa$) is extensively used in Hungary’s leather, textile, and construction chemical industries. It acts as an efficient masking agent in chemical processing and a pH stabilizer in the dyeing of fabrics for the European garment market. In the construction sector, it serves as a chloride-free setting accelerator for concrete, ensuring the structural integrity of industrial buildings and bridges without the risk of steel reinforcement corrosion in the diverse European climate.
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
