Sodium Formate Powder
Sodium formate is a high purity crystalline powder that is dissolved into an aqueous solution to form a clear brine to be used in workover and completions. Os sodium formate is environmentally friendly, non toxic and biodegradable. Workover and completion fluids require brines of varying densities depending upon the well conditions and the reservoir pressure. Os sodium formate when used as a brine will give a density up to 1.30 s.G. This density can be increased using either potassium formate that will provide a density of up to 1.57 s.G. And by introducing cesium formate a density of up to 2.2 s.G. Can be achieved.

Advantages of Sodium Formate Powder
Buffering agent for strong mineral acids
Sodium Formate is also used as a buffering agent for strong mineral acids to increase their pH, as a food additive (E237), and as a de-iceing agent.
Multiple applications
Sodium formate is used in analytical chemistry to precipitate noble metals. Sodium formate is used for tanning leather, for dyeing and printing fabrics.
Improve the high temperature resistance
It can improve the high temperature resistance, rust prevention and bactericidal action of microbial degradation. When applied to oil exploration, it can help stabilize rock formations and reduce the impact of drilling operations on the soil environment.
Properties of Sodium Formate Powder
Physical properties
Some sodium formate powder dihydrate crystals. Sodium formate powder crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system with the lattice parameters a = 6,19 Å, b = 6,72 Å, c = 6,49 Å and β = 121,7°.
Chemical properties
On heating, sodium formate powder decomposes to form sodium oxalate and hydrogen. The resulting sodium oxalate can be converted by further heating to sodium carbonate upon release of carbon monoxide. As a salt of a weak acid (formic acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide) sodium formate powder reacts in aqueous solutions basic: A solution of formic acid and sodium formate powder can thus be used as a buffer solution.
sodium formate powder is slightly water-hazardous and inhibits some species of bacteria but is degraded by others.
Sodium formate powder is often used as a deicer for runways and roads in temperate and continental climate zones. The non-corrosive sodium formate powder can quickly penetrate solid snow and ice layers and melt the ice rapidly without damaging the asphalt, making it a great replacement for calcium chloride.
Furthermore, it can be used as a dyeing agent for printing or a bleaching agent for cotton lint in textile and fabric applications; in india and brazil where the leather industry plays an important role, sodium formate powder is often used as a tanning agent for leather tanning.
Sodium formate powder is basic in aqueous solution of weak acid (formic acid) and strong base (sodium hydroxide). In chemical reactions, it can be used as a buffering agent to increase ph levels, a reducing agent for precious metals, a reagent for the determination of phosphorus and arsenic and as a mordant.
In exploratory drilling, high-density saturated sodium formate powder solution can enhance machines' high-temperature resistance, prevent rust and exhibit microbial degradation functions. The use of sodium formate powder helps stabilize the rock layer and reduce the impact on the soil environment during oil explorations.
Methods to Synthesize Sodium Formate Powder
Carbon oxide synthesis method
Production method: First, the solution of carbon monoxide (common product: Gas) and sodium hydroxide (also known as caustic soda, caustic soda and caustic soda) are reacted at a high temperature of 160-200 degree c and a pressure of 2mpa to form sodium formate powder, and then the finished formic acid is obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis or distillation.
Neopentyl glycol by-product method
There are two ways to produce sodium formate powder by neopentyl glycol by-product method. The production methods are different and the advantages are different.
The first is to produce neopentyl glycol in a more traditional way, and the process adopted is called disproportionation process. The advantages of production are: High content of neopentyl glycol, low price and black color.
The second production method is made by improving the production process through disproportionation. It is a unique way to produce sodium formate powder in china, also known as neopentyl glycol methanol process. Advantages: White color, high purity, not easy to agglomerate, wide application field, large export volume.
Pentaerythritol by-product method
Pentaerythritol by-product method and neopentyl glycol by-product method also have two production methods. The first is a more common and traditional production process. The advantages are low price and light yellow color. The second is a production method upgraded from the traditional method. Advantages: White color, high purity and large export volume.
Trimethylolpropane
N-butyraldehyde and formaldehyde aqueous solution undergo alcohol aldehyde condensation reaction under the action of basic catalyst to produce 2.2-dihydroxymethyl butyraldehyde. 2.2-dihydroxymethyl j aldehyde and excess formaldehyde undergo cross connizaro reaction under strong alkali conditions to produce trimethylolpropane. Formaldehyde is oxidized to form formic acid, and formic acid and sodium hydroxide are neutralized to form sodium formate powder.
There are many ways to produce sodium formate powder. Sodium formate powder is a chemical product that is non-toxic to human body. It needs to pay attention to moisture during transportation. Sodium formate powder is not controlled and can be used even if it is caked during daily storage.
Precautions for Sodium Formate Powder
Sodium formate powder, namely NaCHO2 , is a dry crystalline organic salt, and it is of high purity. This product is mainly adopted to form drilling, workover and completion fluids with density range of 8.4-11.0 lb/gal (1004-1320 kg/m3).
The produced NaBr liquid is an assuring shale stabilizer for water-sensitive clay/shale formations and clay-containing sandstones, offering an eco-friendly choice to work instead of chloride brines.
For safety considerations, personal protective equipment is highly recommended and actually it is a must. Before work, please refer to the precautions illustrated in the MSDS.
Our sodium formate powder is packed in 25kg sack or 1MT Jumbo bag.The container should be closed, and then placed at a dry, well-ventilated area that is away from heat, sparks, flames and incompatible materials. For palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping and stacking operations, please follow safe warehousing practices.
The panel noted that sodium formate powder is a dermal and ocular irritant because of its acidic properties. Concerns relating to the safe use of sodium formate powder as a preservative or fragrance ingredient would depend primarily on the concentration of free sodium formate powder in the formulation. However, when used as a ph adjuster in cosmetic formulations, most of the acid will be neutralized to yield formate salts. Neutralized sodium formate powder would be present predominantly as sodium formate, which has little, if any, potential to cause adverse local or systemic health effects. Thus, the safety of sodium formate powder as a ph adjuster depends primarily on the amount of free sodium formate powder that remains after using it to neutralize the formulation, rather than simply on its concentration of use.
The highest reported use concentration of sodium formate powder in cosmetic products applied directly to the skin is 0.02%, and the highest reported use concentration in leave-on products (noncoloring hair products) is 0.2%. It should be noted that the concentration of free sodium formate powder depends on the content of alkaline ingredients in the formulations. Generally, the concentrations of free sodium formate powder are expected to be low because of neutralization by alkaline ingredients in formulations. Again, systemic toxicity is not expected to be a relevant issue. The remaining uses of sodium formate powder are mainly in rinse-off products, and these uses would also pose minimal concerns relating to irritation potential in product formulations.
