Storage

Double layer packaging, moisture-proof, and then regular transportation are adopted.

 

Stability

They should use and store it according to specifications, without decomposition, and avoiding contact with oxides. In addition, easily soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. Further, 16.2g calcium formate can be dissolved in 100mL water at 0 ℃; And then, At 100 ℃, 18.4g of calcium formate can be dissolved in 100mL of water. When the melting point is higher than 300 ℃, strong heat will cause decomposition. First, they will generate the calcium oxalate , while releasing carbon monoxide and hydrogen The final product is calcium carbonate.

 

Application

Calcium Formate has many uses for example: 

Firstly, feed additive for all kinds of animals, and has the effects of acidification, mildew prevention, antibacterial, etc

and then used for tanning leather

Secondly, preservative. It has diuretic effect. EEC is applicable to all countries, but not to the UK.

Further, Calcium formate decomposes free formic acid in the intestines and stomach of animals, reduces the PH in the intestines and stomach, which is conducive to activating pepsinogen, promoting digestion, and also has bacteriostasis. The dosage is 1.0% – 1.5%.
