FAQs of Calcium Formate:

Q: How is calcium formate typically used in the construction industry?

A: Calcium formate acts as an additive in cement and concrete mixtures to accelerate setting times and boost early-age strength, making it ideal for construction projects requiring rapid progress, especially in cold weather conditions.

Q: What are the benefits of using calcium formate as a feed preservative?

A: When added to animal feed, calcium formate inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and moulds, helping to maintain feed freshness and improving animal digestion, overall health, and feed efficiency.

Q: When should calcium formate be applied to concrete mixes?

A: It should be mixed during the batching process, directly added to cement or concrete mixes. Its use is particularly beneficial during low-temperature pours or where early removal of formwork is desired.

Q: Where is the optimal storage location for calcium formate?

A: The ideal storage is a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and strong oxidizers. The product should remain in its original, tightly closed packaging to preserve its properties and extend shelf life.

Q: What processes does calcium formate undergo before packaging and distribution?

A: After synthesis and purification, the calcium formate is tested to ensure meet specifications such as moisture content, purity, and particle size before being securely packaged in 25 kg woven bags lined with inner PE for distribution.

Q: Can the particle size of calcium formate be customized for specific applications?

A: Yes, the product is typically available at 80 mesh but can be customized to meet the required fineness or granularity for specialized uses in various industrial processes.

Q: What advantages does calcium formate offer in leather tanning processes?

A: It helps to control pH, speeds up chromium tanning, and enhances penetration, resulting in superior leather quality and more efficient processing, with the added benefit of being non-corrosive and non-hazardous.
