Overview
Calcium Formate
Calcium formate (Ca(HCOO)2) is a white to off-white crystalline powder with 98% minimum purity, primarily used as a non-chloride setting accelerator in the construction industry and as a feed additive in animal nutrition. In construction, it increases early compressive strength of concrete by 20-50%, making it essential for cold-weather pouring and rapid-setting applications. As an EU-approved feed additive (E238), it acidifies gut pH, inhibits pathogens, prevents mold, and provides bioavailable calcium for swine, poultry, and aquaculture. It is chloride-free, non-hygroscopic, and non-hazardous for transport.
