Product Description
Sodium Formate / Formic Acid Sodium Salt CAS 141-53-7
Sodium formate, also known as Formic acid sodium salt, is a simple organic carboxylate presented as white crystals or powder with a slight formic acid odor. It is slightly deliquescent and hygroscopic, with an alkaline aqueous solution. When heated, it decomposes into hydrogen and sodium oxalate, then into sodium carbonate.
Key Applications
- Production of insurance powder
- Oxalic acid and formic acid manufacturing
- Leather industry for chromium tanning
- Catalyst and stabilizing agent in synthesis
- Reducing agent in printing and dyeing
Target Industries: Chemical Manufacturing, Leather Industry, Textile Industry
