The manufacturer answers whether potassium formate as a snow melting agent can meet environmental protection requirements

 In recent years, due to the more and more obvious negative effects of chlorine salt snow melting agents, the use of snow melting agents has been very controversial. Some non-chlorine salt snow melting agents (such as magnesium calcium acetate) are also under development. At the same time, some methods that do not use snow melting agents (such as mechanical snow removal, thermal snow removal, etc.) have also been developed and applied. However, in terms of snow melting efficiency, speed, convenience and cost-effectiveness, the current potassium formate snow melting agent is relatively environmentally friendly and high-quality. Today, manufacturers answer questions about whetherpotassium formate as a snowmelting agent can meet environmental protection requirements.


Question 1: I heard that snow melting agents are mostly large grains of salt. Is potassium formate harmful to snow melting agents?

Snow melting agent is not simply a large grain of salt, but a chemical. The main ingredients on the market are chloride salts. Including sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., belong to inorganic snow melting agents. Such chlorides are similar to large-grained salt in appearance and have certain harmful effects.


Question 2: Does snow removal and potassium formate snow melting really work?

Potassium formate snow melting agent can lower the melting point of snow, making it easier to melt. Especially on large roads with more motor vehicles, as the wheels are crushed, the fusion process between snow melting agent and snow is accelerated, making the snow easier to melt.


Question 3: Will potassium formate snow melting agent hurt the road?

Potassium formate deicing and snow melting agents are non-nitrogen salts and low-chlorine products, which have neither dangerous ingredients nor characteristics of causing any infringement and pollution factors, and are non-toxic to humans and aquatic animals. It can be completely biodegraded in water bodies and will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the deicing agent is a very environmentally friendly deicing and snow melting agent.


Question 4: Is the car afraid of potassium formate snow melting agent?

The reason why the vehicle chassis is afraid of deicing agent is that it is difficult to clean, and once the salt adheres, it will cause long-term corrosion. Long-term corrosion can easily cause damage to the chassis, oxidize the tires, cracks, and shorten the service life of the tires.


At present, potassium formate deicing and snow melting agents are mainly used for deicing and melting snow on airport runways, taxiways, and aprons to maximize the friction coefficient of the road surface and ensure the safe and normal taxiing, take-off and landing of aircraft. Therefore, it plays an unparalleled role in ensuring flight safety.


In fact, plants are also very afraid of salt water. If snow-melting agents are accidentally sprayed on the plants in the green belt, the plants will absorb the salt water after the snow melts over time and cause death. In addition, the salt-alkali components in the snow melting agent tend to harden the soil, and the plants are easy to wilt and turn yellow in the second year, which is not conducive to plant growth. The product of potassium formate snow melting residue can promote plant production and realize secondary utilization, a non-toxic and environmentally friendly snow melting agent.

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
