How is potassium formate (CAS 590-29-4) made?
CAS 590-29-4 Potassium formate is most commonly made by the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide (KOH) and formic acid (HCOOH).
The chemical reaction is: HCOOH + KOH → HCOOK + H₂O
What is potassium formate?
Potassium formate, HCO2K, HCOOK, or KHCO2, is the potassium salt of formic acid. This strongly hygroscopic white solid is an intermediate in the formate potash process for the production of potassium. Potassium formate has also been studied as a potential environmentally friendly deicing salt for use on roads.
What is potassium formate used for?
1. Potassium Formate Salt CAS 590-29-4 is widely used in completion fluids in the oil industry.
2. In the leather industry.
3. Used as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing industry.
4. As a coagulant in cement or in the manufacture of carbon black.
5. As a feed additive.
6. As an early strength agent for cement slurry, as well as in mining, electroplating, crop foliar fertiliser and other industries.
