_{Calcium Formate properties}

_{Density 2,02 g/cm3}

_{Boiling point 100.6 º C at 760mmHg}

_{Melting point 300 ° C}

_{Molecular formula C2H2CaO4}

_{Molecular weight 130.113}

_{Flash point 29.9 º C}

_{Precise mass 129.957901}

_{PSA 52.60000}

_{LogP 0.51920}

_{Appearance: white to almost white fine crystalline powder}

 

_Storage

_{Double layer packaging, moisture-proof, and regular transportation are adopted.}

 

_Stability

_{It shall be used and stored according to specifications, without decomposition, and avoiding contact with oxides. Easily soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. 16.2g calcium formate can be dissolved in 100mL water at 0 ℃; 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, calcium oxalate will be generated, while carbon monoxide and hydrogen will be released. The final product is calcium carbonate}

_Application

• It is used as feed additive for all kinds of animals, and has the effects of acidification, mildew prevention, antibacterial, etc
• _{Used for tanning leather}
• _{preservative. It has diuretic effect. EEC is applicable to all countries, but not to the UK.}
• _{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%.}
