Production:
The Calcium Formate can be produced by the raw materials of formic acid and calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide after the process of purification.
2HCOOH+CaCO3=Ca(HCOO)2+H2O+CO2
2HCOOH+Ca(OH)2=Ca(HCOO)2+2H2O

Application: 
1,calcium formate can be used as a new type feeding addictive, adaptable for sorts of acidogenic mold inhibitor of feedstuff. It has the function of preventing diarrhea and dysentery and promoting digesting and absorbing. 
1. As a new feed additive. Calcium formate weight gain, using calcium formate as a piglet feed additive, can promote piglets appetite and reduce the rate of diarrhea. Calcium formate is added to the feed in a neutral form. After the piglets feed on the digestive tract, they will release traces of formic acid, thus reducing the pH of the gastrointestinal tract. It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and reduces the effects of the disease in piglets. During the first few weeks after weaning, adding 1.5% calcium formate to the feed can increase the growth rate of piglets by more than 12% and increase feed conversion by 4%.Domestic and foreign market research shows that adding 1% to 1.5% calcium formate in piglet diets can significantly improve the performance of weaned piglets. The German study found that adding 1.3% calcium formate to the diet of weaned piglets can improve the feed conversion rate by 7% to 8%. Adding 0.9% can reduce the incidence of diarrhea in piglets.
2,Industrial Grade CalcIt is used in building mortar and various concretes to accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time. Especially in winter construction, it avoids the slow condensation speed at low temperature, so that the cement can be put into use as soon as possible.ium Formate is widely used in Construction as early strength agent for cement .
3,Calcium formate is also used in Wear-resistant materials, flooring industry, tanning plant

Safety Explosives:
Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade could be used as the fuel component in explosives designed to have improved deflagration behavior. Such explosives are suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres often encountered in coalmines.
De- icing agent:
Mixtures of Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade with urea are excellent agents for the melting of ice. Less corrosion of steel and cement surfaces is observed than with other de-icers.
Other Applications:
Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade is able to be utilized as an additive to improve solution stability of various resins, as a corrosion inhibitor in moulding and wire-drawing operations, or as a catalyst in place of calcium acetate.
Animal Feed Additive:
Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade is an organic salt suitable for use in pig and poultry diets. It acts as a feedstock preservative and has an acidifying effect on the gastro-intestinal tract, which promotes good gut-health. The efficiency of pig and poultry feedstock digestion is dependent on the indigenous micro-organism concentration in the gastro-intestinal
tract. With the approaching ban on the use of prophylactic antibiotics in animal feed as a means to control disease and promote growth, alternatives are needed to limit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in the gut which can impair feedstock digestion as well as cause enteric diseases such as E. Coli and Salmonella. Acidifiers like Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade preserve the feedstock before consumption and lower the pH in the gastro-intestinal
tract, creating unfavourable conditions for these bacteria to grow.
Fengchen Group is a leading China Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade Powder supplier and manufacturer. We specialize in wholesale and bulk amounts, ensuring all our clients have the right China Calcium Formate Calcium Diformate Feed Grade, Industrial Grade powder manufacturer and supplier when they need it.

For Building Materials
It can be used as rapid solidifying agent, lubricant, early strength agent for cement and in building mortar and various kinds of concrete, accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time, Especially in winter , it can avoid condensation rate too slow under low temperature. And it parting very fast, the cement can be put into use as soon as possible.
In dry mixed mortar products, such as insulating mortar, ceramic tile adhesive, cement base plaster mortar, repair mortar, waterproof mortar, etc, in order to improve their early strength, usually high alumina cement is added, gypsum is used as a coagulant, and antifreeze is needed in low temperature environment. Calcium formate as a early strength agent has a dual role, as well as to speed up the hardening of cement, improve the early strength, avoid the condensation speed too slow in winter construction, or low temperature and moisture, , to let the cement products improve strength and put into use as soon as possible, it can making special contribution to the early strength.

Dosage:
0.5-1.0% calcium formate for 1 MT of cement mortar and concrete, and the maximum amount is 2.5% of cement. However, the amount of calcium formate in winter will be increased with the decrease of temperature, and the dosage is about 0.5-1.0%, even in summer, the amount of 0.3-0.5% is obviously effective.
New high-efficiency feed additives :
Calcium formate is widely used as feed additive, which can be used as acidifier, fungicide and antibacterial agent in all kinds of animal feed, and can be used as feed acidifier for citric acid and fumaric acid. It can reduce and regulate the pH of gastrointestinal tract, promote digestion and absorption of nutrients, and have the function of disease prevention and health care, especially for piglets. Calcium formate is used as a feed additive for piglets, which can promote the appetite of piglets and reduce diarrhea rate. In the first few weeks after the weaning of piglets, adding 1.5% of calcium formate to feed can increase the growth rate of piglets by over 12% and feed conversion rate by 4%.
