Sodium Formate Usage

1) Raw material 

Sodium formate chemically reduces other components by donating an electron or electrons. Formic acid and oxalic acid are prepared from sodium formate. Sodium formate is used in the manufacture of sodium hydrosulfite, a common reductive bleaching chemical. 

2) Reductive bleaching agent 

Sodium formate is used to improve the brightness and color in dyeing/printing fabrics and paper. 

3) Tanning of leather 

Sodium formate stabilize the chromium, resulting in better leather quality. It is used for better penetration and tanning time reducing 

4) Deicing chemical 

Sodium formate is less corrosive and undergoes fast melting action relative to other deicing chemicals. 

5) Buffering agent 

Sodium formate improves both desulfurization efficiency and increasing lime absorbent utilization. 

6) 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
