Calcium formate, sodium formate

Calcium formate is the calcium salt of formic acid. In the form of a white crystalline powder (with a content of > 98%) it is moderately hygroscopic, bitter in taste, non-toxic, soluble in water.

Molecular Formula:Сa (NSOO) 2

Molecular mass:130, 116.

CAS No.:544-17-2


‍

Calcium formate accelerates the approval (setting) of cement mortar —that is, the transition from a liquid state to a solid state, increases the initial strength of the hardened mortar, accelerates roughness - that is, the cement mortar acquires maximum strength, protects concrete from freezing at low temperatures, ensures faster acquisition of concrete a given shape and removal of formwork.

Application of calcium formate:

• Fast-aging cements,
• Cement adhesives for ceramic tiles and plaster,
• Self-leveling floors with self-leveling effect,
• Cement mortar for grouting joints,
• Concrete mixtures for repair work, reinforced and non-reinforced concrete,
• Seamless pavement of pedestrian paths,
• Wood-chipboard with cement binder
• In the production of leather
• As an antimycotic and bactericidal agent
• As a food supplement for animals
