What is the color of calcium formate when dissolved in water?

 Calcium formate is a compound that is easily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is colorless and transparent. It is also determined by quality. If the by-product acid is used to produce calcium formate, it will be turbid and yellow, and even have many impurities, and it will not be completely dissolved.


Physical and chemical properties of calcium formate: slightly hygroscopic, slightly bitter taste. Neutral, non-toxic, soluble in water. The aqueous solution is neutral. The solubility of calcium formate does not change much with the increase of temperature, 16g/100g water at 0℃, and 18.4g/100g water at 100℃. Specific gravity: 2.023 (20°C), bulk density 900-1000g/L. The thermal decomposition temperature is 400°C.


Calcium formate is also widely used in industry and feed additives due to its physical and chemical properties. For example, the high-quality calcium formate produced by Chuandong Chemical Group is produced with genuine formic acid, with high calcium content, clear aqueous solution, and low heavy metal content.


Calcium formate is used as a new feed additive. Everyone knows that feeding calcium formate increases weight. In fact, calcium formate is also a good feed acidifier. It can also increase appetite and reduce diarrhea rate for weaned piglets. Adding 1% to 1.5% in the piglet's diet, calcium formate can significantly improve the performance of weaned piglets.


Calcium formate can be used in construction. It is used as a fast setting agent, lubricant and early strength agent for cement. Used in construction mortar and various concretes to accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time. Especially in winter construction, avoid too slow condensing speed at low temperature. The demoulding is fast, so that the cement can be put into use as soon as possible.


Dosage of calcium formate and precautions: The dosage per ton of dry mortar and concrete is about 0.5~1.0%, and the maximum addition amount is 2.5%. The amount of calcium formate is gradually increased with the decrease of temperature. Even if the amount of 0.3-0.5% is applied in summer, it will have an obvious early-strength effect.
