Study on Calcium Formate: Factors Impacting Revenue Growth of the Global Market

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/20/2018 -- Calcium formate is widely preferred as a masking agent in the leather industry for the chrome tanning process. As an additive to cement, calcium formate imparts several advantageous properties to the final product viz. decreased setting time and increased hardness in comparison to ordinary cements. Calcium formate is frequently used as a component of ensiling agent for silage treatment. Use of calcium formate in the silage suppresses the formation of side reaction products such as propionic acid, while promoting the formation of desirable lactic acid in anaerobic fermentation. Calcium formate has the ability to accelerate the setting time of concrete. Calcium formate and mixture of ammonium nitrate or peroxide, chlorate, superoxide, perchlorate, or permanganate of an alkali metal speedily evolve large volumes of gas when ignited. This gas can be useful for the inflation of automobile passenger restraint bags or other similar applications. Calcium formate is preferred as a fuel component in explosives designed to have improved deflagration behavior. Mixture of calcium formate with urea is an excellent agent for ice-melting.
