Acid Formic Sodium Salt

Acid Formic Sodium Salt – Industrial Grade Formate Solution for Leather, Textile & Oilfield Applications

Shanxi Zhaoyi Chemical Co., Ltd. is a chemical maker. We have run production for over 35 years, since 1988. Our standardized production base sits on 27,000 ㎡. Every year we make 150,000 tons of acetate and formate products. One of our main items is Acid Formic Sodium Salt, which most people call sodium formate (CAS NO. 141-53-7). This industrial chemical comes as a white crystal. Its physical and chemical properties hold steady. The molecular weight is exactly 68.01 g/mol. That gives you dependable chemical reactivity for all sorts of industrial production. It dissolves well in water and fits many uses. Leather tanning, textile dyeing, oilfield drilling fluid preparation, and concrete modification all depend on it. Industrial clients around the world get the same batch quality every time.

Key Features & Benefits

Using our this product in your factory brings real gains in operations and cost. It dissolves well in water. In many liquid formulations, that means it goes into solution fast. Mixing time drops. Less energy is needed each day to keep production running.

Its pH buffering works well. That suits processes that react to pH, such as leather processing and textile dyeing. The crystals are uniform in shape. So dosing stays exact and steady during continuous batch production. Quality swings from uneven dissolving never happen.

Packaging comes in many sizes. Small packs start at 25kg, and bulk ton bags go up to 1000kg. Flexible packaging lets customers plan transport more easily and cut total logistics costs. The product does take in a little moisture. So we hand over full storage and handling instructions. Follow them and you avoid damp problems, which keeps the product working the same way over the long term.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

This product works in two ways. It uses ionic dissociation and chemical reduction together. That is what keeps its effect steady in different industrial processes. Once it dissolves in water, active formate ions are released. Those ions act as buffering agents and as reducing components. Their job is to control and improve production reactions.

During leather tanning, formate ions move fast into the hide structure. They hold the system pH value steady. Chrome tanning agents then fix onto the leather better. Collagen gets stabilized, so the finished leather comes out with better quality. In textile dyeing, it keeps the environment at a reasonable alkaline level. Dye adsorption and fixation efficiency both go up. Fabric fading and structural damage are held back too.

In oilfield drilling operations, this product raises drilling fluid density at a steady pace. It does not corrode downhole drilling equipment or pipelines. That helps keep wellbore operation safe and stable. It also has dependable chemical reduction properties. Because of that, it works as a key raw material for making sodium hydrosulfite. Under standardized reaction conditions, it can turn sulfur dioxide into sulfite with a high conversion rate.

Applications

Leather Processing Industry: This material has wide use in leather pickling and chrome tanning procedures. It keeps the system pH value steady within 7.5-9.0. This makes leather softer. Surface color also comes out more even. Batch tanning quality stays stable.

Textile Dyeing Sector: In vat dyeing processes, it acts as a professional alkali buffer and reducing agent. It keeps the dyeing environment in balance. Dye utilization rate goes up. Finished fabrics also keep consistent color fastness in mass production.

Chemical Manufacturing: This compound is the main raw material used to make sodium hydrosulfite. Run a reaction under normal industrial conditions and more than 92% of it converts. Synthesis then uses less energy and delivers more product.

Oilfield Services: It is mixed into special formate drilling fluids. Inside high-pressure oil and gas zones, those fluids keep wellbore pressure steady. Traditional chloride brines are different. This one does not corrode equipment and puts less strain on the environment, so it meets green drilling standards.

Construction Materials: Here it acts as an effective concrete admixture. In cold conditions below 5°C, it pushes the cement hydration reaction along faster. Setting time drops by 30%-40%, which keeps winter construction work on track.

Acid Formic Sodium Salt vs Other Products

Certifications & Compliance

Our production factory holds ISO 9001 certification for international quality management. Every stage of production and every quality check follows a fixed standard. That keeps the quality of each batch of this product steady. The product also carries valid KOSHER and HALAL certificates. Thanks to them, it fits matching uses in food-contact auxiliary industries and can be exported to regulated markets worldwide.

All products strictly comply with national GB/T industrial formate product standards. We conduct batch-by-batch professional testing on core indicators such as product purity, moisture content and heavy metal residues to ensure full compliance with industrial use standards.

Packaging Options

We provide three mature packaging schemes to match different production scales, handling modes and logistics demands of customers. The standard 25kg woven bags with inner PE moisture-proof liners are suitable for medium-batch production and flexible manual storage and transportation.

For large-scale industrial production, 1000kg bulk jumbo bags are available, which reduce unit transportation costs and adapt to forklift handling and automatic unloading equipment. We also support customized moisture-proof paper bag packaging to meet special storage requirements of customers in high-humidity regions.

Manufacturing Process

The synthesis route we use is mature and stable. In reactors with tight temperature control, formic acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. This step produces a crude sodium formate solution. Evaporation then concentrates and crystallizes the liquid, which pulls the pure formate crystals away from the leftover waste liquid.

Through multi-stage centrifugal impurity removal technology, we effectively filter out impurities while protecting the integrity of product crystals. The fluidized-bed drying system accurately controls the drying temperature to reduce product moisture to the qualified range and avoid thermal decomposition of effective components.

Finally, uniform particle size screening is carried out to control the particle size between 0.5-2.0 mm, ensuring optimal dissolution performance. The fully automatic packaging line isolates external moisture and impurities throughout the whole process to ensure qualified packaging quality.

FAQ

Q: How long does sodium formate last?

A: A1: Keep it in sealed packaging. Store it in dry, ventilated warehouses where humidity is low. Then the product stays fully in line with technical specifications for as long as 24 months after it is made.

Q: Is this industrial grade product applicable for food processing?

A: A2: This is pure industrial-grade sodium formate, specially developed for industrial technical applications. It is not suitable for direct food contact. Food-grade products require dedicated production lines and complete food-grade certification.

Q: How to effectively avoid product moisture absorption?

A: A3: Store the product in a warehouse. Keep the temperature below 30°C there, and relative humidity under 60%. Seal the packaging right after each use. That keeps air moisture out and stops caking or any drop in performance.

Q: What is your minimum order quantity?

A: A4: Our MOQ is 1 ton for trial orders. Bulk orders above 20 container tons can enjoy more favorable customized quotation and priority delivery service.

Q: Can you provide official technical documents?

A: A5: Yes. We can provide complete TDS and SDS technical documents free of charge according to customer demand, including product indicators, safety operation specifications and industry application guidelines.
