Calcium Formate
Calcium Formate
The chemical composition of calcium formate is Ca(HCOO)₂, which is the calcium salt of formic acid. It is a white or slightly yellow crystalline powder with good water solubility and high stability. In the construction field, calcium formate is an important functional additive, mainly used in building materials such as mortar, concrete, and gypsum. It is mainly used in the early strength and antifreeze formulation of cement-based mortar and concrete, as well as construction projects in winter or low-temperature environments.
