Sodium Formate

Sodium formate is the simplest organic carboxylate salt, appearing as white crystals or powder with a slight formic acid odor. Slightly deliquescent and hygroscopic. Easy to dissolve in about 1.3 parts water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol and octanol, insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is alkaline. Sodium formate decomposes into hydrogen gas and sodium oxalate when heated, followed by the formation of sodium carbonate. Sodium formate is mainly used in the production of insurance powder, oxalic acid, and formic acid. Used as a camouflage acid in the chrome tanning process in the leather industry, as a catalyst and stabilizing synthetic agent, and as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing industry. Sodium formate is harmless to the human body and has irritating effects on the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. The molecular formula is CHO2Na.

Used in alkyd resin coatings, plasticizers, acid-resistant materials, aviation lubricating oil, adhesive additives
