Product overview
Calcium Formate is a calcium salt used in dry-mix construction formulations and, with the correct certified grade, selected feed applications. In cementitious systems it is commonly evaluated as a set accelerator and early-strength aid.
Function & Usage
- Protect Feed & Support Shelf Life
Supports feed stability by controlling oxidation or microbial deterioration where the selected grade and local regulations permit. Typical uses: Cement and mortar acceleration, Dry-mix formulations, Feed preservation subject to grade.
- Acidify Feed & Carry Nutrients
Supports feed acidification, nutrient fortification or premix carrier performance according to the selected approved grade. Typical uses: Cement and mortar acceleration, Dry-mix formulations, Feed preservation subject to grade.
- Supply Minerals & Trace Elements
Provides a selected macro- or trace-mineral source for feed and premix fortification, subject to elemental assay, bioavailability and local authorization. Typical uses: Cement and mortar acceleration, Dry-mix formulations, Feed preservation subject to grade.
- Improve Mortar Workability & Set Control
Supports workability, water management, set profile, adhesion or durability in cementitious and dry-mix systems. Typical uses: Cement and mortar acceleration, Dry-mix formulations, Feed preservation subject to grade.
