Potassium Formate, manufactured by Biofuran Materials, is a versatile and eco-friendly salt that offers numerous benefits for various applications. This white, hygroscopic salt is readily biodegradable and environmentally safe, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious users. With high solubility in water (3.3g/mL), alkaline pH (7.0-8.5 @ 25°C), and lower crystallization temperature, Potassium Formate stands out among other salts like fluoride, chloride, bromide, sulfate, and nitrate.

This product, available in a 500g pack, has a range of applications. Firstly, it serves as a trimerization catalyst in the production of isocyanurate (polyurethane), enabling efficient and high-quality manufacturing processes. Additionally, Potassium Formate acts as a regenerant for cation exchange water softeners, maintaining their effectiveness and extending their lifespan.

Moreover, Potassium Formate proves to be an eco-friendly and cost-effective electrolyte with a wide potential window of -2.5 to 1.5 V versus Ag/AgCl. This makes it suitable for various electrochemical applications. Furthermore, it acts as a reliable deicing agent, significantly reducing the freezing point of water to -51°C when used in a concentration of 50% brine. This property enables rapid ice melting, providing efficient snow and ice removal compared to traditional rock salt.

The versatility of Potassium Formate extends beyond its core applications. It serves as a heat transfer fluid additive, contributing to enhanced thermal performance in various systems. Additionally, it can be used as an additive in shale drilling mud, lubricants, paints, and coatings, offering improved properties and performance. As a reducing agent and antifreeze brine, Potassium Formate finds utility in diverse industrial processes.

Biofuran Materials, a reputable manufacturer and trading company based in Pennsylvania, United States, is proud to offer Potassium Formate as a premium-grade product. With its eco-friendly nature, cost-effectiveness, and wide range of applications, Potassium Formate is a reliable choice for industries seeking high-quality salts for their processes.

Quick Details:
Potassium formate (HCOOK) is a white, hygroscopic, readily biodegradable, and environmentally safe salt. When compared with traditional fluoride, chloride, bromide, sulfate and nitrate salts, HCOOK offers high solubility (3.3g/mL water), high density, alkaline pH (7.0-8.5 @ 25°C, 1 M in H2O), lower crystallization temperature, viscosity lower than LiBr, low latent heat of absorption, less corrosive than chloride-based salts, and negligible vapor pressure. Because of such versatile properties, HCOOK is useful as a
• trimerization catalyst used for isocyanurate (polyurethane) production
• regenerant for cation exchange water softeners
• eco-friendly and cost-effective electrolyte (wide potential window of -2.5 to 1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl)
• deicing agent (lowers the freezing point of water to -51°C at a concentration of 50% brine which achieves an ice melting speed of about 30-50 sec vs. 3-10 min for rock salt). Other important applications of HCOOK include: heat transfer fluid additive, shale drilling mud additive, lubricant additive, paint additive, coating additive, reducing agent, antifreeze brine, etc.
