NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing high-quality chemical products, including Calcium Formate, backed by a deep understanding of its calcium formate chemical properties and production. This section delves into what makes Calcium Formate so effective across various applications.

Calcium Formate, with the chemical formula Ca(HCOO)₂, is the calcium salt of formic acid. It typically presents as a white, crystalline powder with good fluidity and is slightly hygroscopic. Its solubility in water is notable, and importantly, its pH in a 10% aqueous solution typically ranges from 5.0 to 7.5, indicating a near-neutral to slightly acidic characteristic, which is beneficial for its applications and handling. The purity of industrial-grade Calcium Formate is generally 98% or higher, with low moisture content and minimal insoluble matter, ensuring consistent performance.

The calcium formate production process usually involves the reaction of formic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. A common method is the neutralization reaction where formic acid reacts with calcium carbonate, producing calcium formate, water, and carbon dioxide. The resulting product is then purified through processes like filtration and drying to yield a free-flowing powder or granule ready for use. The precise control over these steps in the calcium formate production process is critical for achieving the desired purity and particle size.

Key properties that make Calcium Formate highly valuable include its accelerating effect on cement hydration, its role as an anti-freezing agent in cold conditions, and its contribution to early strength development in construction materials. These properties stem from its chemical structure and its ability to interact with cementitious compounds. The understanding of these calcium formate chemical properties is fundamental to its effective application.

Beyond construction, the calcium formate feed additive applications are also significant. Its role as a preservative and acidifier in animal feed relies on its antimicrobial properties and its ability to influence gut pH. The high purity and controlled manufacturing ensure its safety and efficacy in these sensitive applications.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. focuses on meticulous production processes to ensure that every batch of Calcium Formate meets high standards, providing reliable chemical solutions for both construction and agricultural sectors.
