📌 Detailed Introduction of Sodium Formate

✔ What is Sodium Formate?

Sodium Formate (HCOONa) is the sodium salt of formic acid, commonly used as a reducing agent, buffering agent, and stabilizer in multiple industries. It appears as a white crystalline powder, is highly soluble in water, and is known for its non-toxic and biodegradable properties.


📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials:

  • Formic Acid (HCOOH) – Main reactant

  • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) or Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃) – Neutralizing agents

✔ Production Process:

  1. Neutralization: Formic acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to produce sodium formate.

  2. Crystallization & Drying: The solution is purified, crystallized, and dried to obtain high-purity sodium formate.

  3. Packaging & Distribution: The final product is packaged following industrial and feed-grade quality standards.


📌 Applications of Sodium Formate

✔ Leather Industry (Tanning Agent)

  • Used in chrome tanning to accelerate the penetration of tanning agents into leather.

  • Helps in pH regulation, making leather soft and durable.

✔ De-Icing Agent

  • Environmentally friendly runway and road de-icer, offering a less corrosive alternative to traditional salts.

  • Used in airport de-icing due to its non-toxic and biodegradable properties.

✔ Oil Drilling & Exploration

  • Acts as a drilling fluid additive to control fluid density and improve lubrication in deep drilling.

  • Reduces the risk of wellbore instability.

✔ Textile & Dyeing Industry

  • Used as a dyeing auxiliary in fabric processing, improving color fastness and absorption.

  • Acts as a buffering agent in the neutralization process.

✔ Feed Additive

  • Used as a preservative and pH regulator in animal feed.

  • Helps improve digestion and nutrient absorption in livestock and poultry.

✔ Chemical Industry

  • Acts as a reducing agent in industrial chemical reactions.

  • Used in the manufacture of formic acid and oxalic acid.
