Sodium formate, a by-product of trimethylolpropane 100% White crystals or powder 205-488-0 baichuan

  ProdSodium formate, also known as sodium formite, contains two Water of crystallization in the crystal, so it is also known as Sodium formate dihydrate, Sodium formate dihydrate, and sodium formite dihydrate. Sodium formate is the simplest organic Carboxylate, which is white crystal or powder with a slight odor of formic acid. Slightly deliquescent and hygroscopic. Easily soluble in approximately 1.3 parts of water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol and octanol, insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is alkaline. When heated, Sodium formate decomposes into hydrogen and Sodium oxalate, and then forms sodium carbonate. Sodium formate is mainly used in the production of sodium hydrosulfite, oxalic acid and formic acid. Used as a camouflage acid in the chrome tanning process in the leather industry, as a catalyst and stabilizing synthetic agent, and as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing industry. Sodium formate is harmless to human body and has irritating effect on eyes, respiratory system and skin. The Molecular formula is CHO2Na, and the chemical structure formula is HCOONa, HCOONa · 2H2Ouct Detail
