1.Product Description:
Potassium formate is easily soluble in water, and the dissolution speed is very fast. It is non-toxic and non-corrosive.It is mainly used in oilfield development (including oilfield drilling fluid, workover fluid, and completion fluid), as well as in industries such as carbon black surface modification, snow melting agents, mining, leather, printing and dyeing, and electroplating.

3.Application:
1.Drilling fluid additives: 75% liquid potassium formate is often used as an additive to drilling fluids to help control the hydration expansion of shale, reduce adhesion to drilling tools.
2.Snow melting agent: It can be used as a snow melting agent for roads to effectively lower the melting temperature of snow and ice.
3.Agricultural application: As a form of potash fertilizer, it provides the potassium required for crop growth, and its solution form is more convenient for irrigation.
