What is Sodium Formate?

Sodium Formate (HCOONa) is a sodium salt of formic acid. It appears as a white powder and is known for its de-icing, buffering, and preservative properties. This versatile chemical is highly sought after in several industries due to its effectiveness in various applications, from leather tanning to natural gas production.

Manufacturing Process

The production of Sodium Formate at East India Chemicals involves the natural reaction of formic acid with sodium hydroxide, resulting in the formation of Sodium Formate and water. Our facilities in Kolkata are equipped with advanced chemical processing equipment to ensure that this reaction is conducted efficiently and safely, under optimal conditions to maximize yield and purity. Rigorous quality control measures are implemented at every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure the product meets the highest standards of quality and safety.

Applications and Uses

De-icing Agent

Sodium Formate is widely used as an environmentally friendly de-icing agent at airports and on runways. Unlike traditional chloride salts, it is less corrosive to aircraft and runway materials and more effective at lower temperatures.

Leather Tanning

In the leather industry, Sodium Formate is used to stabilize the pH of tanning solutions, ensuring efficient leather processing and high-quality finished products.

Natural Gas and Oil Field Production

It acts as a natural pH buffer and corrosion inhibitor in drilling fluids, which are critical in the drilling and extraction of natural gas and oil, protecting equipment and ensuring operational efficiency.

Textile Industry

Sodium Formate is used in the dyeing and finishing processes in the textile industry, where it helps to stabilize the dyes and accelerate the fixing process, resulting in vibrant and long-lasting colors.

Chemical Synthesis and Pharmaceuticals

It serves as a key intermediate in chemical synthesis, including the production of formic acid and various formates used in pharmaceuticals, where purity is paramount.
