Calcium Formate 98% Whether it is feed grade or industrial grade, it has its specific properties, uses and production methods, etc., which are introduced to you in detail below:

Feed grade calcium formate

Properties: white crystal or powder, slightly hygroscopic, slightly bitter taste. Specific gravity 2.023 (20 ℃), density 900 - 1000g / L. In 10% aqueous solution pH value of 7.3 - 7.6. Neutral, low moisture content (the highest content of 0.5%).

Function and use: As a new type of feed additive, especially suitable for weaned piglets. It can reduce the pH value of gastrointestinal tract, which is helpful to activate pepsinogen and improve the digestibility of feed nutrients; it can prevent the growth and reproduction of E.coli and other pathogenic bacteria, and promote the growth of Lactobacillus and other beneficial bacteria, so as to prevent diarrhea associated with bacterial infections; and it has the effect of preventing mold and preserving freshness. Adding 1% - 1.5% calcium formate to piglet diet can obviously improve the production performance of weaned piglets, such as increasing daily weight gain, feed conversion rate, reducing the rate of diarrhea and so on. At the same time, because it contains 30% easily absorbed calcium, it is necessary to pay attention to adjust the ratio of calcium and phosphorus when preparing feed.

Production Method 1: There are mainly neutralization method, compound decomposition method, epoxy fatty acid methyl ester by-production method, pentaerythritol by-production method and so on.

Industrial grade calcium formate

Property 7: white crystal or powder, slightly hygroscopic, slightly bitter taste, neutral, non-toxic, soluble in water. Specific gravity 2.023(20℃), heap density 900 - 1000g/L, heating decomposition temperature is more than 400℃.

Role and use 6: It is a new type of low-temperature early coagulant promoter, widely used in the construction industry. It is used as fast setting agent, lubricant and early strength agent for cement, which can accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time, especially in winter construction, it can avoid the slow setting speed in low temperature, so that the cement can be put into use as early as possible to improve its strength. It can also be used in tile binder, cement-based plastering mortar, repair mortar, waterproof mortar, thermal insulation mortar, wear-resistant flooring and putty, etc. It can improve the denseness of the product and prolong the opening time. In addition, it can also be used as adhesive of powder mine and liquid and lubricant for cooling of drilling holes, etc.

Production Method 1: Similar to feed grade calcium formate, neutralization and complex decomposition methods are common. However, industrial grade calcium formate may be more derived from by-product acids and has relatively more impurities.
