Sodium Formate in Kanpur
Sodium Formate ($HCOONa$) is the cornerstone chemical for Kanpur’s world-famous leather tanning industry in Jajmau. It acts as an efficient masking agent in chrome tanning, ensuring uniform penetration of tanning salts and a high-quality leather finish for global export. In the textile and construction sectors, it serves as a pH stabilizer and a chloride-free setting accelerator, ensuring the structural integrity of industrial buildings without the risk of steel reinforcement corrosion in the city's industrial atmosphere.
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
