Sodium formate Typical Properties

Sodium formate Usage

• Leather Industry & Tanning

  • Leather Camouflage Acid & Tanning Agent: Widely used in leather manufacturing as a camouflage acid in chrome tanning to accelerate chrome absorption and improve leather softness and tear strength.

• Deicing & Road Anti-Icing Agents

  • Eco-Friendly Deicer: Utilized in airport runways, highways, and bridge deicing formulations as a lower-corrosion alternative to traditional calcium/sodium chlorides.

• Chemical Synthesis & Reducing Agent

  • Formic Acid & Oxalic Acid Production: Used as a primary raw material in manufacturing formic acid, oxalic acid, and sodium hydrosulfite.

• Building Materials & Oil Drilling

  • Concrete Strength Accelerator: Added to concrete mixtures to accelerate early strength development in cold-weather construction and formulated into oilfield drilling fluids.

• Other Applications

  • It is used as a reducing agent; used to precipitate precious metals; it can form trivalent metal complex ions in the solution; it has a buffering effect and can be used to correct the pH value of strong mineral acids. Precipitate precious metals. Trivalent metal complex ions can be formed in solution. It has a buffering effect and can correct the pH value of strong mineral acid.
