Calcium Formate

• Standard Chemicals International supplies a free-flowing fine powder form. It can be found in technical, industrial, and food-grade specifications as it is soluble in water and is a source of calcium ions and formic acid.

  Calcium Formate, besides its use as a concrete accelerator that can improve concrete’s setting and curing time and is often used in self-leveling compounds and mortars, is also used as a feed supplement for livestock and as a source of calcium and formic acid in various industrial applications.

  Calcium Formate’s non-chloride nature makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chloride-based accelerators. It is commonly used in construction applications where fast-setting times are required and is available in various grades to meet the needs of different industries. It accelerates cement hydration, leading to faster setting times and increased early strength. It can also reduce the water demand of the mixture, leading to improved workability and increased final strength.
