Potassium Formate（Liquid）
Liquid potassium formate, chemical formula KHCOO, is a colorless and transparent liquid with reducibility, capable of reacting with strong oxidants, non-toxic and non corrosive. The specific gravity of its saturated solution is 1.58 g/cm ³ 12. Liquid potassium formate appears as a colorless or light yellow oily liquid at room temperature, with a pungent odor, and is easily soluble in solvents such as water and ethanol.
Mainly used for oil drilling.
1. As high-performance drilling fluids, completion fluids, and workover fluids, they are widely used in the oilfield industry;
In the snow melting agent industry, the additive acetate has been phased out due to its strong odor of acetic acid in the air after melting snow and causing a certain degree of corrosion to the ground. However, potassium formate not only has good snow melting performance but also overcomes all the drawbacks of acetate and is highly praised by citizens and environmentalists;
3. In the leather industry, it is used as a camouflage acid in the chrome tanning process;
4. Used as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing industry;
5. It can also be used as an early strength agent for cement slurry, as well as for industries such as mining, electroplating, and foliar fertilizer for crops.
