In the temperate and cold climate countries that are easy to freeze, sodium formate is often used for deicing airport runways or roads, because it can quickly penetrate solid ice and accelerate the melting of ice and snow, but it has the advantage of being non-corrosive and not easy to destroy the asphalt pavement, so it replaces the traditional salt melting ice.
In addition, when applied to textile processes, it can be used as printing dyeing agent or cotton wool bleaching agent; In India, Brazil and other places where leather technology is prevalent, it is often used as a tanning agent for leather.
In the reaction of chemical experiments, sodium formate aqueous solution has weakly acidic formic acid and strongly alkaline sodium hydroxide, showing an alkaline reaction, so it is also used as a buffer to increase PH value, precious metal reducing agent, or a reagent and mordant for the determination of phosphorus, arsenic and other substances.
Due to the high density of saturated sodium formate solution, it can improve the high temperature resistance, rust prevention and bactericidal effect of microbial degradation of the machine, and can help stabilize the rock formation and reduce the impact of drilling operations on the soil environment when applied to oil exploration.
