With the continuous development of the world petrochemical industry and the expansion of oil exploitation capacity, the demand for potassium formate is also rising. As a potassium formate manufacturer, CD will introduce the specific use of potassium formate for you.

Potassium formate is mainly used in oil drilling, oil field drilling fluid, completion fluid, carbon black surface modifier, snow dissolving agent, mining and so on.

The addition of potassium formate can improve the inhibition of drilling fluid and inhibit the hydration and dispersion of shale in formation. At the same time, because formate can increase the density of drilling fluid base fluid and reduce the amount of barite under the same density conditions, the solid content of high density drilling fluid decreases, and the increase of viscosity caused by poor soil pollution is alleviated. Barite can dissolve in potassium formate solution, but this is related to the concentration of potassium formate solution, so the site should control the amount of potassium formate, considering comprehensively, it is suggested that the amount of potassium formate should be about 30%.

Potassium formate is a new additive for drilling and completion fluids. It has the advantages of strong inhibition, high temperature stability and low corrosion, good environmental protection and reservoir protection.

The liquid potassium formate deicing and snow-melting agent is mainly applied to deicing and snow-melting of airport runway, taxiway and apron, in order to maximize the friction coefficient of road surface and ensure the safe and normal taxiing, takeoff and landing of aircraft, so it plays a great role in ensuring flight safety.

Potassium formate can also be used as reducing agent in printing and dyeing industry. 

Potassium formate can also be used as an early strength agent for cement slurry and as foliar fertilizer for mining, electroplating and crops.

Potassium formate can be used to produce potassium dicarbonate for feed in large quantities.
