Potassium diformate is an alternative to antibiotics

There are many opportunities for bacterial infection in the breeding production, because it is impossible to produce aseptic animals in the breeding environment, so it is inevitable to have disease. There are many substitutes for antibiotics, but due to the limitations of each product, such as the high cost of use, the complex methods of use, and the uncertain effect. At present, potassium diformate is a new type of feed additive which can replace antibiotics.

Potassium diformate has been approved by the European Union as a growth promoting agent for antibiotic substitutes. At the same time, the research on the synthesis and application of potassium diformate has been developed rapidly in China.

Potassium diformate is a kind of organic acid salt. It is a dimer which is associated by hydrogen bond between a molecule of formic acid and a molecule of potassium formate. The pure potassium diformate is white crystal or crystalline powder. Potassium diformate is tasteless, soluble in water, highly hygroscopic, stable in acid conditions, and decomposed into formic acid and potassium formate in neutral or alkaline conditions.

It is generally believed that the improvement of production performance after adding antibiotics to feed is related to the inhibition of subclinical infection. Therefore, the reason why potassium diformate can promote the growth of antibiotics is that it has a strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Its unique anti microbial function is based on the comprehensive effect of formic acid and formate. It is absorbed in the form of complete potassium diformate and passes through the acid stomach to the neutral and alkalescent hind intestinal tract, that is to say, it automatically decomposes into formic acid and formate. The non dissociated formic acid passes through the cell wall of the bacteria and makes the pH drop in the cell. When the pH in the cell is close to 7, organic acid dan enters the cell, destroying the enzyme function and nutrient delivery system in the cell, making the microorganism unable to reproduce, leading to death, and playing the function of bacteriostasis and sterilization: formate anion decomposes the protein of bacterial cell wall outside the cell wall, playing the role of sterilization and bacteriostasis.

Therefore, by adding potassium diformate to improve the biological safety, improve the breeding environment and feeding management, reduce the incidence of bacterial diseases, according to the loss caused by the disease.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
