Advantages of Potassium Formate

Excellent ice and snow melting performance

According to the equal concentration snow melting ability test, the ice and snow melting ability of potassium formate is 5 times that of ordinary chloride snow melting agents and 2 times that of alcohol snow melting agents.

Strong anti secondary icing performance

Potassium formate can achieve anti freezing temperatures as low as -50 ℃, and the freezing point can reach -20 ℃ when the snow water concentration on the road melts to 30%, and -15 ℃ when the concentration reaches 20%.

Excellent environmental performance

The potassium formate solution is weakly alkaline, with no significant harm to animals and plants; it is biodegradable after entering nature, and potassium ions are absorbed by plants to participate in natural circulation.

Application of Potassium Formate

The biological oxygen demand of formate is lower than that of acetates or urea, the degradation of formate occurs also at low temperatures, formate induces less leaching of trace metals from roadsides than do sodium chloride and acetates, and (iv) the taste level of potassium formate in ground water is lower than that of conventional road salt and potassium acetate.

Precautions During Use Potassium Formate

Storage: Store potassium formate in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances.

Ingestion and inhalation: Avoid ingestion and inhalation of the chemical.

Contact: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

Spills: If a spill occurs, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and use appropriate methods for containment and cleaning up.

Usage and Dosage of Potassium Formate

If the thickness of the ice or snow layer is greater than 3 millimeters, it is not advisable to use the de icing fluid directly. In this case, the surface snow should be removed first using snow removal and de icing machinery before spreading the de icing and snow melting agent; Due to its ability to prevent adhesion between ice layers and road surfaces, this product is convenient for snow sweepers or de icing machines to clean. Therefore, it can also be used as a preventive antifreeze for spraying on the eve of adverse weather conditions.

When the thickness of the ice layer is less than 1 millimeter:

Temperature	Dosage
0 ºC ~ -5 ºC	15-25 grams per square meter
-5 ºC ~ -10 ºC	25-35 grams per square meter

When the snow or ice thickness is 1-3 millimeters:

Temperature	Dosage
0 ºC ~ -5 ºC	30-40 grams per square meter
-5 ºC ~ -10 ºC	40-60 grams per square meter

Packing and Shipping of Potassium Formate

Packing	25kg kraft paper bag, big bag (1200KG)or customized according to the requirement.
Shipping	Shipped by road, sea, rail

FAQ

Q: What is potassium formate used for?

A: Potassium formate (HCOOK) is a versatile chemical with various industrial applications, including drilling fluids, deicing, and heat transfer.

Q: Is potassium formate toxic?

A: Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. Acute potassium poisoning after swallowing is rare, because vomiting usually occurs and renal excretion is fast.

Q: Is potassium formate corrosive?

A: Corrosion-Resistant: Compared to other salts like sodium chloride, potassium formate is less corrosive to metals, concrete, and machinery. This makes it ideal for de-icing infrastructure and vehicles while minimizing long-term maintenance costs.

Q: At what temperature does potassium formate decompose?

A: DECOMP AT TEMP ABOVE 167 °C WITH EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN.

Q: Is potassium formate flammable?

A: Not combustible. Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire.

Q: What is potassium formate deicer?

A: Potassium formate removes thin layers of ice and prevents new snow from sticking or a new layer of ice forming. At a 50-percent concentration, the freezing point is reduced to as much as minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: How to make potassium formate solution?

A: Formic acid directly reacts with potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate to prepare the potassium formate under certain conditions, and in a technical process, the formic acid and the potassium hydroxide or the potassium carbonate are added in a reactor and are stirred.
