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.

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
