Calcium Formate Useage

Introduction

Calcium formate is a highly efficient and versatile organic calcium salt in the form of white crystals or powder, easily soluble in water, with excellent stability and good fluidity. It is widely used in many fields such as construction, feed, leather, and chemical industry.

Advantages

1. Improve the early strength of concrete
Calcium formate, as a cement early strength agent, can accelerate the cement hydration reaction and improve the early strength of concrete. Its mechanism of action is mainly to promote the formation of cement hydration products, so that the concrete can reach a higher strength in a short time, especially suitable for construction in low temperature environment. In winter or low temperature areas, the setting speed of concrete is slow. The addition of calcium formate helps to shorten the construction period, improve engineering efficiency, and reduce the waiting cost of labor and equipment during construction.

2. Improve the animal growth environment
In the feed industry, calcium formate can be used as an acidifier. It can reduce the pH value of feed and animal digestive tract, create an environment that is not conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria (such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella), thereby reducing the risk of intestinal infection in animals. Calcium formate can also provide a soluble calcium source, promote calcium absorption, and help animal bone development. Its acidification effect can also improve the palatability and digestibility of feed and improve feed conversion rate. For weaned piglets and poultry, the use of calcium formate helps reduce digestive system stress response, reduce the incidence of diarrhea, and increase growth rate.

3. Promote leather tanning
Calcium formate can be used in chrome tanning and synthetic tanning processes in leather processing to play a buffering role. Its working principle is to adjust the pH changes during the tanning process so that chromium salts or other tanning agents can penetrate into the leather fibers more evenly, thereby accelerating the tanning speed and improving the uniformity and stability of the leather. Leather treated with calcium formate can be optimized in terms of flexibility, durability and physical properties, making the final product more durable and feel good.

4. Good antifreeze performance
Calcium formate can be used in concrete antifreeze agents to lower the freezing point of water so that concrete can still hydrate and condense normally in low temperature environments. Its antifreeze effect is mainly based on the regulation of cement hydration reaction, so that concrete can still form sufficient strength even at low temperatures, reducing the risk of cracks caused by freezing. In addition, in road deicers, calcium formate as an additive can reduce the corrosion of chloride salts on concrete and steel bars, increase the service life of roads, and reduce maintenance costs.
