Sodium Formate
Sodium Formate (HCOONa) is the sodium salt of formic acid, commonly available as a white crystalline powder or granules. It is widely used across industries for its reducing properties, high solubility, and role as an eco-friendly chemical intermediate. Sodium formate serves as a key raw material in leather processing, dyeing, de-icing, oilfield applications, and chemical manufacturing.
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
