- Product Description
Potassium Formate 75% Liquid Solution – High-Performance Drilling Fluid & Industrial Chemical Additive
Shanxi Zhaoyi Chemical Co., Ltd. has been making chemicals since 1988. That gives us 35+ years of hands-on production experience. Our production base covers 27,000 ㎡, and it runs at a steady 150,000 tons a year. The main product we supply is Potassium Formate 75% Liquid Solution. We make it to ISO, KOSHER and HALAL certification standards. This liquid additive has a high concentration, so it fits oilfield drilling, industrial de-icing and many other processing jobs. A normal product at 50% can cost more to run. Our 75% solution can cut overall operating costs by 30%. It still works well above -10℃. You can use it as it is, no mixing needed. Batch concentration stays within ±1%. For industrial clients around the world, this means simpler operations and steady production results.

Key Features & Benefits
In the industrial chemical market, this product% Liquid Solution offers good value and a high concentration. Bulk buyers get lower overall transportation costs from the upgraded 75% formula. It also keeps steady flow all year. No seasonal limits apply.
Our finished liquid product is ready to use right away. No pre-dissolution step is needed on site. That saves manual operation costs and shortens construction cycles. On-site efficiency goes up as a result. Concentration is tightly controlled at 75%±1%. Every batch we deliver keeps the same performance, so production does not get hit by quality swings.
This product holds up well in cold weather. Even at -10℃, it does not crystallize or break down. Winter projects keep running, steady and without stops. Its chemical nature is mild, so mechanical equipment sees very little corrosion. That makes industrial machinery last longer. Daily upkeep and replacement costs for companies also drop.
It also pairs well with automated industrial feeding systems and pipeline transmission equipment. Because of the viscosity, the liquid flows through pipes without clogging. All sorts of industrial production systems can use it. During use, no harmful chemical reactions or side effects show up.

How It Works
This product% Liquid Solution is an industrial chemical additive that does more than one job. It works through several mechanisms, so it fits different industrial application needs. Inside oilfield drilling fluid systems, it raises liquid density. Shale inhibition is another effect. Wellbore structures stay stable too, which keeps collapse risks away.
Formate ions make up part of this product. Once downhole, they hold a steady osmotic pressure balance in the drilling environment. Clay then stays put instead of swelling, and the reservoir formation takes far less damage while drilling work goes on. High heat and heavy pressure underground do not change that. The drilling fluid keeps its rheological properties, and drilling operations carry on without a hitch.
As an industrial de-icing agent, it brings down the freezing point of water at the molecular level. Ice and snow layers get penetrated quickly, and the solid structure of the ice falls apart. Traditional chloride de-icing products cause more pollution and more corrosion of equipment. This one causes less of both, so it counts as an eco-friendly material for winter maintenance.
In fine chemical production, it serves as a stable reducing agent. Its reduction potential stays under control. Chemical reactions move ahead at a steady pace, and fewer redundant by-products are generated. Companies get standardized, finished chemical products as a result.
Applications
Oilfield Drilling Industry: Added at a proportion of 5%-15% in drilling fluids, it significantly enhances system stability and lubricity, reduces drilling friction, and is specially suitable for high-temperature deep well drilling projects.
De-Icing & Snow Melting: Ideal for winter road and infrastructure maintenance. It features low environmental impact and low equipment corrosion, far to traditional inorganic salt de-icing agents, meeting green industrial construction standards.
Leather Industry: In leather processing it serves as a professional camouflage acid. Tanning works better when it is added. The surface of the finished leather comes out smoother, and the overall quality of the end product improves.
Textile & Printing: In textile dyeing it acts as a stable reducing agent. Cloth takes color evenly because of it, so color difference defects do not appear. The quality of the finished fabric stays steady.
Construction Materials: Building materials production uses it as a cement early strength agent. Cement sets faster with it. Work on site therefore moves along quicker in winter, when temperatures are low.
Carbon Black Manufacturing: This material works as a key additive when making carbon black. It helps the production steps run better. Yield rises as well. Performance gets better in every way.

With valid KOSHER and HALAL certifications, our products meet the purity requirements of food auxiliary materials and pharmaceutical supporting applications, with reliable chemical stability and safety. All finished products will undergo strict sampling testing before delivery, with continuous monitoring of core indicators such as chloride content and concentration accuracy. Complete compliance documents and test reports can be provided to support customers' global market access and inspection needs.

Packaging Options
1000L IBC Ton Tanks: Suitable for short-distance transportation and frequent material replacement scenarios for industrial projects. The reusable IBC containers effectively reduce long-term packaging procurement costs and potassium formate 75 are fully compatible with standard forklift handling equipment for convenient loading and unloading.
20-Ton Flexibags: Tailored for large-batch orders and long-distance international ocean shipping. Single-use flexibags eliminate container return logistics costs and are perfectly matched with standard 20-foot containers to maximize shipping space utilization.
Both packaging solutions can fully protect product purity and stability during transportation. We support flexible packaging selection according to customer order quantity and destination, and provide mixed packaging services to meet diversified distribution demands.

Manufacturing Process
We strictly screen high-purity raw materials and implement strict supplier qualification assessment mechanisms to ensure stable and qualified raw material quality from the source, laying a foundation for finished products.
We run the synthetic reaction under tight control of temperature and pressure. Real-time monitoring systems are in place. They let us adjust production parameters as we go. This keeps concentration from drifting and holds the reaction on a steady path.
Once the reaction is done, we use multi-stage purification and filtration to strip out trace impurities. This keeps the chloride content under 0.03%. We then tune the final concentration with care so it hits the 75%±1% standard spec.
Quality inspection runs through the whole production process with multiple detection nodes. Every batch of products will pass professional laboratory analysis and testing before packaging and delivery. The complete product traceability system ensures transparent and controllable product quality.
