Application

Sodium Formate is extensively used as a reducing agent in printing and dyeing processes, where it facilitates the fixation of dyes to fabrics. In leather production, it serves as a masking agent to improve chromium uptake during tanning. Additionally, it acts as a non-corrosive de-icer for airport runways and roads. Researchers also utilize it as a precursor for synthesizing formic acid or as a pH regulator in biochemical assays. Its role in oil drilling fluids as a shale inhibitor further underscores its industrial versatility.
