Classification of Calcium Formate

Tech Grade Calcium Formate

Tech Grade calcium formate is used as a rapid setting agent and early strength agent for cement, which can accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time. Especially during winter construction, tech grade calcium formate can avoid slow setting speed at low temperatures, allowing cement to increase its strength and be put into use as soon as possible.

Industrial Grade Calcium Formate

Industrial Grade calcium formate is a new type of low-temperature early strength accelerator that can significantly improve the early strength and shorten the setting time of cement. It is widely used in industries such as mortar (tile adhesive, cement-based plastering mortar, repair mortar, waterproof mortar), flooring, and concrete.

Construction Grade Calcium Formate

Construction Grade Calcium Formate can not only speed up the hardening speed of cement and improve early strength, but also avoid too slow setting speed during winter construction or low temperature and humidity, so that cement products can improve as early as possible. Strength is put into use, especially contributing to early strength.

Calcium Formate: Extraction Process

Raw material preparation

Choose high-purity formic acid and calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide as raw materials to ensure product quality.

Reaction steps

Add calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide to the reaction tank, and then add formic acid dropwise for reaction.
During the reaction process, it is necessary to control process parameters such as temperature and stirring speed to ensure that the reaction proceeds fully.
After the reaction is complete, filter the reaction solution to remove insoluble substances.

Concentrated crystallization

Concentrate the filtered reaction solution to remove excess water.
During the concentration process, calcium formate will gradually crystallize and precipitate.

Centrifugal separation

Separate the crystallized calcium formate using a centrifuge to obtain wet material.

Dry and packaging

Dry the wet material to remove moisture and obtain solid calcium formate product.
Dry calcium formate products are packaged for storage and transportation.

Uses of Calcium Formate in Construction

Calcium Formate in Concrete

Calcium formate helps concrete set within 4 hours.Ensuring early strength for motar or concrete. Construction grade calcium formate boosts mortar strength without affecting other properties.Work pretty well with other addtives.

Calcium Formate in tile adhesive

Calcium formate enhances tile adhesives by improving adhesion,durability and strength. Calcium formate's great for tile adhesive mortars that need to be set quickly without getting too hard.It also boosts water resistance and flexibility.

Calcium Formate in dry-mixed mortar

Calcium formate enriches the characteristics of dry-mixed mortar. From Delaying Drying Time To Contributing To Higher Adhesion, calcium formate helps to provide a better result. It includes adding stability and strength during mortar application, increasing flexibility, water resistance, and homogeneity.

FAQ

Q: What is calcium formate used for in construction?

A: Calcium formate is used as an additive to cement and grouts. It contains desirable properties that help decrease the cement's setting time, prevent efflorescence and corrosion in metal substrates, and boost workability at low temperatures.

Q: What is the effect of calcium formate in tile adhesive?

A: Calcium Formate can be used in concrete, dry mortar and tile adhesives, it acts on both setting and hardening time by accelerating the formation of tricalcium alluminate silicate. Depending on dosage Calcium Formate also strongly modifies the initial workability of the wet mortar.

Q: What is the thermal decomposition of calcium formate?

A: Its chemical formula is Ca(HCOO)₂ or C₂H₂O₄Ca, with a molecular weight of 130.113 g/mol. Melting Point and Decomposition Temperature: Calcium formate has a melting point of 300°C. When heated to around 300°C or higher, it undergoes decomposition, producing calcium oxide, carbon dioxide, and water.

Q: Is calcium formate soluble in water?

A: Calcium formate has a low solubility of around 160 g/l at 20 °C, and it is usually added as a powder, which might create dispersing problems.

Q: What does calcium acetate and calcium formate gives?

A: Calcium formate is the calcium salt of formic acid and calcium acetate is the calcium salt of acetic acid. When a mixture of these two undergoes dry distillation then acetaldehyde is formed as the major product and calcium carbonate is formed as the side product.

Q: What are the raw materials for calcium formate?

A: It is formed by the reaction of carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide or formaldehyde with calcium compound contained in an aqueous solution. Calcium formate is used, among other things, as an aggregate for cementitious building materials, as an additive for processing oil emulsions or as an additive for animal feed.
