Sodium Formate in Ahmedabad
Sodium Formate is the sodium salt of formic acid, appearing as a high-purity white crystalline powder ($HCOONa$). Innovacorp India Pvt. Ltd. supplies this premium chemical to the industrial heart of Ahmedabad, where it is primarily valued for its versatility in chemical synthesis and its role as a powerful reducing agent in various manufacturing processes across Gujarat.
In the major industrial clusters of Vatva and Naroda, our Sodium Formate is an essential component for the textile dyeing and printing industry, acting as a high-efficiency buffering agent to stabilize pH levels. Furthermore, it is a critical reagent in the leather tanning sector for chrome tanning processes and serves as a vital raw material in the production of sodium hydrosulfite and formic acid within Ahmedabad's chemical manufacturing units.
Major Applications:
1. Leather industry as tanning agent
2. Oil Drilling field / Oilfield chemicals : In exploratory drilling, high-density saturated sodium formate solution can enhance machines’ high-temperature resistance, prevent rust and exhibit microbial degradation functions. The use of sodium formate helps stabilize the rock layer and reduce the impact on the soil environment during oil explorations.
3. As a de-icer on airport runways due to its effectiveness and less contamination than Salt. It melts the ice rapidly without damaging the asphalt
4. Pulp and paper industry - In production of sodium hydrosulphite / dithionite (a bleaching agent)
5. Textile industry - fabric dyeing and printing process
6.Construction industry
7. Electroplating process
8. As animal feed additive - used as a dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) enhancer
9. Formic acid manufacturing
