Sodium Formate
High-purity organic chemical salt for chrome leather tanning, airport runway de-icing, textile printing, and oilfield drilling brine systems.
Product Overview: Industrial Sodium Formate
Sodium Formate (HCOONa) is the sodium salt of formic acid. It appears as a white crystalline, water-soluble powder with high chemical purity, strong buffering capacity, and environmentally benign biodegradability.
Sakthima supplies industrial and premium leather grades (purity ≥ 95–98%) with low moisture and zero organic contaminants. It is a critical masking agent in chrome leather tanning, an eco-friendly runway de-icer, a reducing agent in dyehouses, and a high-density completion fluid in oilfield drilling.
Key Benefits
Chrome Masking in Leather
Improves chrome penetration in hide structures, preventing drawn grain and delivering uniform leather softness and dye uptake.
Eco-Friendly Airport De-icing
Fast-acting runway de-icing agent with low BOD/COD impact and zero corrosive effect on carbon-carbon aircraft brake pads.
High-Density Drilling Brine
Formulates solids-free completion fluids that stabilize shale and protect sensitive geological formations in oil exploration.
Textile Printing & Dyeing
Serves as an effective reducing agent and buffering agent in sulfur dye fixation and vat dyeing processes.
Concrete Setting Accelerator
Acts as a chloride-free early strength accelerator for concrete admixtures in cold-weather construction.
Applications
Leather Tanning & Finishing
Runway & Road De-icing
Oil & Gas Drilling Fluids
Textile Dyeing & Printing
