Product Description

Product Description of Calcium formate CAS#544-17-2

Calcium formate is a white to off-white fine crystalline powder. It acts as an accelerator for pozzolanic cement, shortening initial and final setting time and boosting compressive strength. It raises bound water content, optimizes the gel‑space ratio across hydration stages, and reduces overall porosity.

It also promotes growth in weanling pigs even under E. coli challenge, independent of intestinal adhesion susceptibility. Widely used as a feed additive for young pigs and fattening poultry, it improves growth performance and feed efficiency, and lowers piglet diarrhea incidence.


Product Application of Calcium formate CAS#544-17-2

Calcium formate serves as a preservative for food and silage, a binder for fine ore briquettes, and an ingredient in drilling fluids and lubricants.

As an organic salt, it is ideal for pig and poultry feed. It acts as a feed preservative and gastrointestinal acidifier to sustain intestinal health. By reducing gut pH, it suppresses harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, improving digestion and lowering enteric disease risks. It can effectively replace prophylactic antibiotics in animal nutrition.

FAQ

Q1: Is Huafeng Chemical a manufacturer or a trader?
A: We are a professional service provider specializing in chemical foreign trade. Rather than being limited to the products of a single factory, we leverage the chemical industry cluster in Shandong Province to integrate production resources from multiple high-quality manufacturers. This allows us to offer a wide range of sourcing options—covering various product categories and origins—instead of simply pushing a single product. Furthermore, our core competitiveness lies in our professional foreign trade services (covering documentation, logistics, and regulatory compliance), ensuring a smooth and worry-free procurement process for you.


Q2: How is the security of my transaction guaranteed when working with Huafeng Chemical?
A: We strictly adhere to international trade rules (Incoterms® 2020) and accept various payment methods, such as Letters of Credit (L/C) and Telegraphic Transfers (T/T). For new clients, we support small-batch trial orders and can clearly define arbitration clauses and applicable laws within the contract. Additionally, we maintain a robust risk management system to help you mitigate common trade risks, such as exchange rate fluctuations, shipping delays, and document discrepancies.


Q3: Do you have experience serving clients in Russian-speaking regions?
A: Yes. We place great importance on the Russian-speaking market; our team includes Russian-speaking business professionals who are well-versed in the import regulations of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). We understand the importance of EAC certification to clients in these regions and can assist with related compliance inquiries. We have established connections with chemical traders across various CIS countries and have gained valuable experience in specialized packaging and temperature-controlled shipping designed to withstand harsh local winter conditions.


Q4: How do you guarantee product quality?
A: We implement a strict supplier qualification and periodic audit system. A Certificate of Analysis (COA)—issued by the original manufacturer—is provided with every shipment. We also welcome pre-shipment inspections conducted by internationally recognized third-party agencies such as SGS, BV, or ITS. Should the test results fail to meet the standards specified in the contract, you have the right to reject the goods or request a replacement.
