Potassium Formate Liquid in Australia
Potassium Formate Liquid ($HCOOK_{aq}$) is a high-performance heat transfer fluid valued for its low viscosity and superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional glycols. In the Australian petroleum sector, particularly for projects in the Carnarvon and Gippsland Basins, it is utilized as a "solids-free" brine to minimize formation damage in sensitive reservoir rocks. Scientifically, its non-corrosive nature protects expensive stainless steel and copper alloys, making it indispensable for industrial refrigeration and secondary cooling systems in Australia’s food and beverage industries. Because it is readily biodegradable and has low toxicity, it is the safest choice for operations near Australia’s protected marine environments and the Great Barrier Reef regions, offering a sustainable alternative for hydrate inhibition and hydrostatic testing in the North-East's heavy industry.

Uses:
1. As an excellent drilling fluid, completion fluid, and workover fluid, it is widely used in the oilfield industry.
2.In the snow melting agent industry, the acetic acid smell in the air is too strong after the snow melting of the additive acetate and it causes a certain degree of corrosion on the ground, etc., and is eliminated. Potassium formate not only has good snow melting performance but also overcomes the acetic acid All the drawbacks of salt are praised by citizens and environmental personnel;
3. In the leather industry, it is used as a camouflage acid in the chrome tanning method;
4. In the printing and dyeing industry, it is used as a reducing agent;
5. It can also be used as a cement slurry. Strong agent, and used in mining, electroplating and foliar fertilizer for crops and other industries.
