Sodium Formate in Amritsar
Sodium Formate ($HCOONa$) is the sodium salt of formic acid, appearing as a white, hygroscopic powder with excellent water solubility. In the Amritsar industrial corridor, it serves a dual purpose: as a non-corrosive concrete accelerator for the construction industry and as a vital component in the production of Sodium Hydrosulphite. Scientifically, it is preferred for its ability to increase the pH of acidic solutions without the risk of over-alkalization, making it an ideal buffering agent for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. Furthermore, its environmentally friendly profile—being fully biodegradable and chloride-free—makes it the preferred choice for Amritsar’s eco-conscious manufacturers looking to meet international export standards in leather and textile goods.
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
