Quality : technical / without anti-caking agent
 
Appearance : Sodium formate is a colourless, bitter-salty tasting, crystal water-free salt with 
reducing characteristics. It is very hygroscopic and very soluble in water. 49 g of salt 
is dissolved in only 100 g of water. It creates Di-and Trihydrates.
 
Application : Sodium formate is used as a main raw material in the production of formic acid, 
oxalic acid and sodium oxalate, and as an ingredient in leather tanning, oil drilling fluids, 
animal feeds and eye drops. Because of its reduction capability, it is often used as an ingredient 
in galvanic and fixing solutions.

Physical and chemical properties :
Melting point °C : 253
Relative density, 20°C (water =1): 1.92
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C : 81
Bulk density, kg/m3 : -635

Packing : 25 kg polyethylene bags on pallets of 1000 kg and in water-tight big bags of 1000 kg 
which have an additional polyethylene inlay.
 
Storage : Owing to its extremely high hygroscopicity, it should be kept in a dry place.
 
Transportation : Sodium nitrate is transported in closed railway cars, closed deck ships and 
tracking. Sodium formate is classified as a non-hazardous material.
