Potassium formate has a wide range of uses, mainly including the following aspects:
Carbon black production: In carbon black production, potassium formate, as a structural inhibitor, plays an important role in improving the quality and stability of carbon black. The introduction of potassium formate replaces the traditional sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate. Due to its better solubility and stability, it significantly improves the efficiency and product quality of carbon black production.
De-icing and snow-melting: As a non-nitrogen salt, low-chlorine product, potassium formate is widely used in de-icing and snow-melting on airport runways, taxiways, and aprons. Its environmental features include non-toxic, biodegradable, will not cause pollution to water bodies, ensuring flight safety1.
Oil mining: In oil mining, potassium formate is used as a drilling fluid additive, can increase the density of drilling fluid and reduce viscosity, effectively prevent blowouts, increase drilling speed and extend the service life of drill bits, reduce mining costs 2.
Highway construction: In the construction of roads, especially expressways, potassium formate is used as an antifreeze agent, has a good antifreeze effect, and is suitable for winter construction2. 
Printing and dyeing industry: Potassium formate is used as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing industry to help restore and fix colors.
Cement industry: In the cement industry, potassium formate can be used as an early strength agent for cement slurry to accelerate the hardening process of concrete3.
Industries such as mining, electroplating, and foliar fertilizers for crops: Potassium formate also has applications in these industries, although specific uses may vary by industry3.
In summary, potassium formate plays an important role in multiple industries due to its unique physical and chemical properties.

Q: What is potassium formate used for?
A: Potassium formate brines are sometimes used for heat transfer, despite being much more corrosive than many other liquid coolants, especially to zinc and aluminum but even to many steels, though some formulations are compatible with aluminum and steels.
Q: How do you make potassium formate?
A: The process yields potassium formate and methanol from a reaction between formaldehyde and potassium hydroxide. The reaction is carried out in a liquid, preferably aqueous, state at a molar ratio formaldehyde to potassium hydroxide of 1.0:1.0 to 3.0:1.0, such as 1.5:1.0 to 2.5:1.0 or 1.8:1.0 to 2.2:1.0.
Q: What is potassium formate used for in agriculture?
A: Agriculture: Although less common, potassium formate can be used in agriculture as a source of potassium for plants. It's especially useful in hydroponic systems where precise nutrient management is required.
Q: What is the name of HCO OK?
A: Potassium formate, HCO2K, HCOOK, or KHCO2, is the potassium salt of formic acid. This strongly hygroscopic white solid is an intermediate in the formate potash process for the production of potassium.
Q: What is potassium formate deicer?
A: Potassium formate functions by depressing the freezing point of water to melt ice and snow accumulation, and prevent re-freezing. Once it is effectively applied to a runway surface, the solution becomes diluted with a practical freezing point of -32°C (-26°F) at 50% concentration.
Q: How many kinds potassium formate?
A: There are 2kinds of potassium formate, one is solid potassium formate with 98% contents, the other is liquid potassium formate with 75% contents.
Q: What is the package of potassium formate?
A: Solid potassium formate is 25kgs bags package, liquid potassium formate is 1.57T IBC barrels.
Q: What is the MOQ of potassium formate?
A: The MOQ is 1ton.
