What is of Potassium formate CAS 590-29-4 CHKO2

Potassium formate (HCOOK) is an environmentally friendly organic salt and powerful chemical agent. It is primarily used as a high-density drilling brine in the oil and gas industry, an effective eco-friendly deicer for roads and runways, and an industrial heat-transfer

Application Scenarios:

Oilfield Drilling/Completion Grade:

 

1. Deep/Ultra-deep Well Drilling and Completion Fluids: In high-temperature, high-pressure (HPHT) oil and gas drilling operations, potassium formate aqueous solutions have extremely high density, which can effectively balance formation pressure, prevent blowouts, and stabilize shale wellbore walls by relying on fluid column pressure.

 

2. Reservoir Protection: Compared with traditional inorganic salts such as calcium chloride and zinc bromide, potassium formate does not contain chloride ions, has extremely low corrosiveness to drill bit metals, and will not form insoluble precipitates with carbonate and sulfate ions in the formation to block oil and gas channels, thus perfectly protecting oil and gas reservoirs and improving oil well production.

 

Agricultural Grade/Follicular Fertilizer Grade:

 

1. High-end Chlorine-Free Liquid Follicular Fertilizer: Potassium formate has extremely high water solubility, high potassium oxide content, and its free formate ions can be utilized by some soil microorganisms. As a foliar fertilizer, its complete water solubility and low salt index result in extremely high absorption and utilization rates by plants, and it is very unlikely to cause soil salinization like traditional potassium chloride.

 

2. Crop stress resistance and quality improvement: It can significantly promote plant root development, enhance crop photosynthesis, disease resistance and cold resistance, and improve the marketability and taste of fruits and vegetables.
