Potassium Formate CAS 590-29-4
Potassium Formate (CAS 590-29-4) is potassium formate (also known as antacid potassium), which is the potassium salt of formic acid (HCOOH). It is a colorless, highly hygroscopic and highly soluble inorganic salt. Potassium Formate is a high-density chlorine-free drilling fluid for oil fields. It is also an environmentally friendly snow-melting agent and is used in industries such as dyeing, leather, cement, and agriculture.
