Calcium Formate Applications
Calcium formate is a highly beneficial compound. It is an industrial chemical that is widely utilized in the cement industry. Its applications include:
• Calcium Formate is used as preservative in animal feed. It acidifies the feed, preventing the formation of germs and extending the feed’s shelf life. It inhibits bacterial and fungal growth.
• It is employed as a masking agent in leather chrome tanning because it improves the effectiveness of chromium penetration into the leather.
• Calcium formate is often used in the pickling process to replace formic acid.
• It is also used as a cement and grout ingredient. It gives the final product desired qualities. It aids in increasing hardness and decreasing setting time.
• It protects metal substrates within cement or grout from corrosion.
• It inhibits efflorescence quite efficiently.
• Calciumformate acts as a fire retardant.
• Its combinations with urea are excellent deicers. These have a lower corrosion rate on steel and cement surfaces.
Is Calcium Formate Harmless?
Calcium Formate is widely regarded as hazardous due to its toxicity. Exposure to this substance can have both immediate and chronic health consequences. It can cause severe eye damage and discomfort, which can lead to lifelong eye damage. If consumed, it can be quite dangerous. Calcium Formate must be stored and disposed of properly to avoid any negative consequences.
What Is The Manufacturing Process For Calcium Formate?
Calcium Formate is produced industrially by the interaction of calcium hydroxide with carbon monoxide at high pressure and temperature. Calcium chloride and formic acid can also be used to make it.
