Technical Specifications

Key Product Characteristics

Zhaoyi Chemical potassium formate solution 590-29-4 is well recognized for accurate formulation and rigorous process management. And we keep the 75% ±1% concentration in every manufacturing batch, so your downstream process performance is predictable and repeatable.

The non-crystallization at temperatures over -10°C is useful. Those who work in cold climates or keep items in winter need this. Prevent solidified product from obstructing pipes, causing pump failure and output delays.

The low chloride concentration (≤0.03%) is also crucial. High quantities of chlorides also promote the corrosion of metal equipment and pipes. Keeping chlorides tightly controlled reduces your maintenance frequency and extends equipment service life — a direct cost saving over time.

Good fluidity also means the product integrates smoothly with automatic feeding systems and pipeline transport, reducing manual handling and improving overall operational efficiency.

Application Areas

Oilfield Drilling Fluids

75% Liquid Potassium Formate has this as its main use. It acts as a high performance drilling fluid additive, enhancing borehole stability, lubricity and heat resistance. In high temperature, high pressure wells, a dose of 10%-15% of total drilling fluid volume is advised to maximise stability and decrease friction. For normal drilling circumstances, usually 5%-10% is plenty. Zhaoyi Chemical can provide you the technical assistance to find the optimum ratio according to your own formation data.

De-icing and melting of snow

Potassium formate solution is a less corrosive alternative to chloride based de-icing solutions. It is often utilised on highways, runways and bridges when protecting infrastructure is as important as effectively melting snow.

Leather Industry

In leather processing, it serves as a masking acid, helping regulate pH during chrome tanning and improving the uniformity of the tanning process.

Textile Printing and Dyeing

As a reducing agent, it assists in the discharge printing process, contributing to cleaner and more consistent color development on fabric.

Cement and Construction

When added to cement slurries, it acts as an early strength agent, accelerating hydration and shortening setting time — particularly useful in cold-weather concreting operations.

Other Industrial UsesIt also finds its way into carbon black production, and also is used as a fertilizer for plants in farming – it contains potassium which is a nutrient for plants.

Full documentation support is available, including COA, MSDS in multiple languages, and compliance documents aligned with your import requirements. On-site factory audits by international customers are also welcomed.

Packaging, Storage & Delivery

Zhaoyi Chemical offers two packaging formats designed for different logistics needs:

• 1000L IBC Totes — Suitable for regional and short-distance transport, easy to handle with standard forklift equipment
• Flexibag (20 tons/bag) — Designed for long-distance and bulk ocean freight, reducing per-ton packaging cost significantly

Storage conditions: Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse, keep away from direct sunlight. Keep storage temperature above -10°C to avoid viscosity growth. Avoid poisonous and harmful chemicals. Shelf life 6 months under recommended conditions.

Delivery: For stock orders, domestic shipping will be made within 24 hours following payment confirmation. Orders for bulk manufacturing need around 7 days preparatory lead time.

Why Choose High-Concentration Liquid Over Lower-Concentration Alternatives

Buyers sourcing a potassium formate 75% solution often ask whether the higher concentration justifies the cost. The economics are straightforward.

At 75% concentration, you are transporting significantly more active ingredient per liter. Compared to 50% liquid products, transportation expenses can be reduced by approximately 30%. Over large-volume orders, this creates meaningful savings that compound with every shipment.

There is also no dissolution step required. Lower-concentration or solid products often require on-site dilution or dissolution, which adds labor, water management, and mixing equipment to your process. This product is ready to dose directly, simplifying your workflow.

Batch-to-batch stability is the third factor. Consistent concentration means consistent dosing, consistent process results, and fewer quality deviations to investigate or correct.

FAQ

Q: What is the recommended dosage of this product in oilfield drilling fluids?

A：The standard addition range is 5%–15% of total drilling fluid volume. For high-temperature and high-pressure wells, 10%–15% is recommended to enhance stability and reduce friction. We recommend conducting small-scale compatibility tests first and can provide technical guidance throughout the process.

Q: How does the product compare to 50% concentration products on cost?

​​​​​​​A：The higher concentration reduces transportation costs by approximately 30% compared to 50% products, since more active ingredient is delivered per shipment. Combined with no dissolution labor required, the total cost of use is typically lower.

Q: What is the current potassium formate 75% solution price?

A：Pricing depends on order volume, packaging format, delivery terms, and market conditions. Contact us at sxzy@sxzhaoyi.com with your quantity and destination for a prompt, accurate quotation.

Q: Does the product crystallise during cold weather storage and/or transport?

A: No crystallisation takes place at -10°C or higher. For cold areas, transport or storage in insulated containers or heated warehouses is suggested to ensure fluidity.

Q: Do you provide custom concentrations or container formats?

A: Yes. Zhaoyi Chemical provides customised concentration, formulation and packaging according to your application needs and target market. OEM labels and multi-lingual literature are also available.

Q: How long is the lead time for bulk order?

A: Standard stock orders are sent within 24 hours to domestic consumers. Bulk orders needing production scheduling generally have a 7 day lead time. Get in touch with the staff to check availability and book your delivery.
