Application industries:
Used as producing Sodium hydrosulfide, alkyd resin coatings, plasticizer, aviation lubricating oil, reductive bleaching agent, dyeing and printing fabrics and paper.
Tanning of leather: Sodium formate stabilize the chromium, resulting in better leather quality. It is used for better penetration and tanning time reducing.
Deicing chemical: Sodium formate is less corrosive and undergoes fast melting action relative to other deicing chemicals.
Buffering agent: Sodium formate improves both desulfurization efficiency and increasing lime absorbent utilization.
Animal feed additive: Sodium formate is an efficient feed additive as it improve digestibility.
Sodium formate is also used in liquid detergent as a builder or an enzyme stabilizer. It is used in dyeing, in electroplating, in silage preservation.
