SODIUM FORMATEGeneral Information:
Technical Date Sheet
Product name: Sodium formate;Formic acid sodium salt
CAS No.:141-53-7
Molecular Formula:HCOONa
Molecular Weight:68.01
HS code:2915120000
Description:
Sodium formate is one of the simplest organic carboxylates. It is white crystal or powder with a slight smell of formic acid. Slightly deliquescent and hygroscopic. It is easily soluble in about 1.3 parts of water and glycerin, slightly soluble in ethanol and octanol, and insoluble in ether,Its aqueous solution is alkaline.
Application:
- Raw material
Sodium formate chemically reduces other components by donating an electron or electrons. Formic acid and oxalic acid are prepared from sodium formate. Sodium formate is used in the manufacture of sodium hydrosulfite, a common reductive bleaching chemical.
- Reductive bleaching agent
Sodium formate is used to improve the brightness and color in dyeing/printing fabrics and paper.
- Tanning of leather
Sodium formate stabilize the chromium, resulting in better leather quality. It is used for better penetration and tanning time reducing
- Deicing chemical
Sodium formate is less corrosive and undergoes fast melting action relative to other deicing chemicals.
- Buffering agent
Sodium formate improves both desulfurization efficiency and increasing lime absorbent utilization.
- Sodium formate is also used in liquid detergent as a builder or an enzyme stabilizer. It is used in dyeing, in electroplating, in silage preservation
- Sodium formate is also used in feed industry.
