Sodium Formate (HCOONa) is a white crystalline organic salt used widely as a reducing agent, buffering agent, and accelerator in industrial processes. In leather manufacturing, it plays a key role in improving tanning quality and reducing chemical costs.
| Function | Purpose | Key Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Pickling Salt Modifier | Helps lower pH and increases resistance to acid swelling before chrome tanning | Reduces hide damage and improves chromium uptake |
| Chrome Tanning Accelerator | Enhances chrome penetration into collagen fibers | Better grain tightness, smoothness, and strength |
| Dye Assistance | Assists in dye leveling and brightness | More uniform color and enhanced shade depth |
| Buffering Agent | Controls pH during tanning and re-tanning | Improved finishing quality & reduced chemical consumption |
| De-icing & Preservation in Hide Storage | Maintains hide quality during transportation | Prevents deterioration from bacterial activity |
Result: Softer, fuller leather with improved physical properties and reduced chromium waste in effluent.
Used in runway, roadway, and bridge de-icers
Lower corrosion compared to chloride-based salts
Effective in low-temperature ice melting
Fast melting and safe for concrete and steel structures
Eco-friendlier alternative to calcium chloride or urea
Buffering agent during dyeing and finishing
Improves color fixation and material handling
Drilling fluid additive (density control and shale inhibition)
Intermediate for formic acid, oxalic acid, and formamide
Reducing agent in various synthesis processes
Preservative supporting longer shelf life of feed ingredients
High solubility for easy dosing
pH buffering helps protect leather fibers and machinery
Reduced chromium levels in wastewater
More sustainable replacement for some mineral acids and salts
Store in dry, sealed packaging
Avoid direct contact with moisture during storage
Use appropriate PPE during handling
Ensure proper ventilation in storage areas
