Potassium formate is an organic salt with the chemical formula of hcook. It is a colorless crystalline powder. It is very hygroscopic and reductive. It can react with strong oxidants. The density is 1.9100g/cm3. It is soluble in water and ethanol, insoluble in ether, and non-toxic and non corrosive. The aqueous solution is a colorless and transparent liquid. We generally provide the whole wholesale potassium formate powder, and provide the corresponding potassium formate price for customers. If the customer needs potassium formate solution, after we sell potassium formate powder, we will know the customer's configuration of aqueous solution.
Use of potassium formate：
1. As the drilling fluid, completion fluid and workover fluid with excellent performance, they are widely used in the oilfield industry.
At the end of 1990s, potassium formate was applied to drilling and completion fluid abroad, especially in high-density drilling and completion fluid system, and achieved good results. The drilling fluid system prepared with potassium formate has the outstanding advantages of strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmental protection and reservoir protection. The field application results show that potassium formate has strong ability to inhibit the hydration, dispersion and expansion of clay, and the returned drilling cuttings are in the shape of small round particles, with a thousand internal properties. The drilling fluid does not paste the vibrating screen and does not run. It has the characteristics of strong inhibition, good water loss and wall formation, good lubrication, fast mechanical drilling speed, low cost and significant economic benefits. The use of potassium formate mud is conducive to improving polymer stability, stabilizing shale, reducing damage to rock strata, and ensuring that drilling, completion and oil well maintenance are in the best working condition.
With the increasing abundance and complexity of drilling technology, it is more necessary to develop a drilling fluid system with excellent performance, such as high pollution resistance, high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance; At the same time, due to the increasingly strengthening of environmental protection, it is imperative to develop an environmentally friendly drilling fluid system. Formate is such a system, and potassium formate is a better product in this system
K-type drilling fluid system is imperative, and formate is such a system. Potassium formate is a better product in this system, which is mainly used in oil drilling, oilfield drilling fluid, completion fluid, carbon black surface modifier, snow dissolving agent, mining and so on. With the continuous development of the world petrochemical industry and the continuous expansion of oil production capacity, the demand for potassium formate continues to rise, and the market prospect is good.
It is mainly used to prepare water cut oil well filling fluid. It can achieve high density, maintain low viscosity, improve drilling speed and prolong the service life of the bit. It is one of the oil production technology fields It's a good material. Therefore, with the continuous expansion of oil production capacity, the demand for potassium formate is also increasing. The consumption of potassium formate for each well is about 60t, and the global demand is considerable.
2. In the snow dissolving agent industry, the acetic acid smell in the air is too strong after the additive acetate melts the snow and causes a certain degree of corrosion to the ground. However, potassium formate not only has good snow melting performance but also overcomes all the disadvantages of acetate and is praised.
3. Used as reducing agent in printing and dyeing industry.
4. It can also be used as an early strength agent for cement slurry, as well as in mining, electroplating and foliar fertilizer for crops
5. Mass production of potassium dicarboxylate for feed.
Market of potassium formate:
At present, the production companies of potassium formate are mainly concentrated in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Russia, Spain, the United States and China. In 2010, the global total capacity was 377000 tons.
The United States is the first country to produce potassium formate. It has a production history of several decades, with an annual production capacity of about 35500 tons a few days ago. Globally, the consumption proportion of potassium formate in various application fields is 93% in the oil field industry, 2.5% in the snow dissolving agent industry, 1.5% in the leather ding industry, 1.5% in the printing and dyeing industry, and 1.5% in other industries. The average annual growth rate of various application fields of potassium formate is 7.9% in oil field industry, 6.4% in snow dissolving agent industry, 5.6% in leather industry, 5.3% in printing and dyeing industry and 7.4% in other industries.
The development and research of potassium formate in China is relatively late, but it develops rapidly, and has become a major production country in the world. The development and research of domestic potassium formate in China is relatively late, but it develops rapidly, and has become a major production country in the world. The domestic production capacity has reached more than 100000 tons.
