Sodium Formate

Sodium Formate for Leather Tanning and Industrial Processing

Sodium formate is an organic sodium salt of formic acid. This HCOONa product carries CAS 141-53-7 and comes in 92%-98% purity grades. Its white crystalline form dissolves well in water, which makes it practical for liquid processing, blending, and controlled dosing.

Leather producers often use sodium formate during tanning operations. It helps regulate acidity and supports stable penetration during treatment. As a result, the tanning process can maintain better control when hides require uniform chemical adjustment.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Sodium formate offers several advantageous properties for industrial applications:

Water-Soluble Formate Salt for Multi-Industry Use

Oil and gas operations use sodium formate in drilling and completion fluid systems. Its solubility and salt characteristics help support fluid performance in selected field conditions. At the same time, construction material producers may use it in concrete additives where formate chemistry can support setting behavior and process adjustment.

Airport and road maintenance teams also apply sodium formate in de-icing formulations. Compared with many chloride-based materials, formate salts can reduce chloride-related corrosion concerns in certain winter maintenance programs. In chemical manufacturing, the product serves as an intermediate for formic acid derivatives and related synthesis routes.

Different applications may need different purity levels. A 92% grade can suit many general industrial processes. Higher-purity grades near 98% work better when formulation consistency and lower impurity levels matter. Because the product dissolves easily, production teams can prepare working solutions without complex handling steps.

Vanchor supplies sodium formate with controlled composition, stable particle quality, and export-ready packaging. The product supports leather processing, oilfield chemicals, concrete systems, de-icing blends, and downstream chemical production where dependable solubility and consistent formate content matter.

With strict quality control, stable production capacity, and global export experience, our Sodium Formate is trusted by customers in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America.
