Is potassium formate corrosive as snow melting agent? The manufacturer tells you

In winter, the "green snow clearing" is being implemented in the northern region. The snow clearing is mainly carried out by machinery and manpower, and the use of snow melting agent is strictly controlled. As for snow melting agent, previous experts have said that it has side effects, causing corrosion damage to municipal facilities such as green plants, urban roads and bridges. So can potassium formate be used as foliar fertilizer and snow melting agent? The manufacturer tells you.


For snow melting agent, relevant departments are considering whether there are side effects? What measures should be taken? Minimize the damage caused by snow melting agent.


Previously, experts from China Society of corrosion and protection have been introduced by the media. At present, snow melting agents are mainly divided into two categories at home and abroad. One is organic snow melting agent with potassium acetate as the main component. Although this kind of snow melting agent has good snow melting effect and no corrosion damage, its price is too high, which is generally only applicable to airports and other places.


The other is chlorine salt snow melting agent, including sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., commonly known as "ice salt". Its advantage is cheap, the price is only 1/10 of that of organic snow melting agent, but its corrosion to large public infrastructure is very serious. Not only damage vegetation, more serious is the corrosion damage to urban roads, bridges and other municipal facilities.


What kind of snow melting agent is potassium formate? Is it corrosive?


Potassium formate deicing and snowmelting agent is a non nitrogen salt low chloride product, which has neither dangerous components nor any characteristics of damage and pollution factors, and is harmless to human body and aquatic animals. It can be completely biodegraded in water, and will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the deicing agent is a very environmental protection deicing and snowmelting agent.


As far as potassium formate is concerned, it is a relatively high-quality environmental protection snow melting agent, which does not contain chlorine and has no corrosiveness. It is often used in airport runways, taxiways and aprons to remove ice and snow melting, so as to maintain the friction coefficient of the road surface to the maximum extent and ensure the safe and normal taxiing, takeoff and landing of the aircraft. Therefore, it plays an unparalleled role in ensuring the flight safety.

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
