Chemical properties
White crystalline or crystalline powder. The Ph value of the 1 mol/L aqueous solution is 6.0 to 7.5. It decomposes at 400 °C. Soluble in water (16.5g / 100ml, 20 ° C; 18.4g / 100ml, 100 ° C).
Use
1. Preservatives. Diuretic effect. EEC countries are allowed to use, but the UK is not allowed to use it.
2. Tanning for leather
3. Used as feed additive, suitable for all kinds of animals, with acidification, mildewproof, antibacterial and other effects
4. Calcium formate decomposes and releases formic acid in the intestines of animals, which reduces the pH in the intestines and stomach, is beneficial to activate pepsinogen, promote digestion, and also has antibacterial effect. The amount added is from 1.0% to 1.5%.
