Oil and Gas Industry:Drilling Fluids, Completion Fluids, and Workover Fluids: Potassium formate is an essential component of high-performance drilling, completion, and workover fluids. It has the characteristics of high density and low viscosity, which enable it to effectively carry drill cuttings, stabilize the wellbore, and prevent the expansion and dispersion of clay in the formation.Scale Inhibition in Formation Water: During oil and gas field production, potassium formate can be used to inhibit scaling in formation water, extending the production cycle of oil and gas wells and increasing the recovery rate of oil and gas.
Deicing Agent Field:Environmentally Friendly Deicing Agent: Potassium formate has good deicing properties, with low corrosivity and minimal environmental impact. It is an environmentally friendly deicing agent widely used for snow and ice removal on roads.
Agricultural Field:Foliar Fertilizer: Potassium formate contains potassium, making it a high-quality foliar fertilizer. It can enhance plant stress resistance, promote photosynthesis, and improve crop yield and quality.
Industrial Field:Leather Industry: During the leather tanning process, potassium formate can be used as an auxiliary tanning agent to help leather better absorb tanning agents, improving the quality and durability of leather.Textile Printing and Dyeing Industry: Potassium formate is used as a reducing agent in the textile printing and dyeing industry.
Electroplating Industry: As an additive in electroplating solutions, potassium formate can improve the quality of the electroplating layer, making it more uniform and dense.
Other Applications:Early Strength Agent for Cement Slurry: Potassium formate can be used as an early strength agent for cement slurry, enhancing the early strength of cement.
Mining: In mining operations, potassium formate can be used to improve the performance of liquids during the mining process.
