Sodium formate (HCOONa, CAS No 141-53-7) is a white deliquescent powder with a molecular weight of 68.01 g/mol. Sodium formate melts at 245°C and is soluble in water (972 g/L at 20 °C) and slightly soluble in alcohol.
This non-corrosive, biodegradable salt has many prominent uses including
· Enzyme stabilization in detergents
· Reducing agent
· Rheology control additive
· Noble metal precipitant (complexing agent)
· Electroplating additive
· Photographic bath additive
· Buffering agent for strong mineral acids
· Printing and dyeing additive (enhances brightness and vivid colors)
· Leather tanning additive
· Airport running agent (melts ice faster than urea and is effective at low temperatures)
Sodium formate is an environmentally safer alternative to chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate brines.
