Potassium Formate

Potassium Formate is the potassium salt of formic acid. This strongly hygroscopic white solid is an intermediate in the formate potash process to produce potassium. Potassium formate has also been studied as a potential environmentally friendly deicing salt for use on roads. It has also been suggested for use in a less corrosive liquid desiccant.

Application :

Potassium Formate is a useful chemical compound in the production of potassium metal and in the oil and gas industry, often in aqueous solution (alone, or mixed with cesium formate), to yield a high-density, environmentally friendly brine that can be used a heat transfer fluid.

Also used in pharma sector.
