Overview
Sodium Formate
Sodium formate (HCOONa) is a versatile white crystalline powder with 99% minimum purity, widely used across multiple industries. As a de-icing agent, it provides an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional road salts, being non-corrosive to metals and concrete. In leather tanning, it stabilizes chromium salts for uniform hide penetration. The oil and gas industry uses it as a base for high-density, solids-free completion and workover fluids. It is highly soluble in water (97.2 g/100 mL at 20 deg C), biodegradable, and classified as non-hazardous for international transport.
