Potassium formate CAS 590-29-4 CHKO2

Potassium formate is an organic salt with the chemical formula HCOOK. It is a white solid that is highly hygroscopic, reducing, and can react with strong oxidants. It has a density of 1.9100g/cm3 and is easily soluble in water. It can rapidly dissociate into formate ions and potassium ions in water, releasing a large amount of hydrogen ions. Non toxic and non corrosive. The aqueous solution is a colorless and transparent liquid, with a saturated solution density of 1.58g/cm3. Solid potassium formate is generally a flaky white solid with a content of over 97%. It can be mixed with water to form liquid potassium formate, which typically has a content of around 75%. Alternatively, the ratio of 50 and 60 can be adjusted according to the requirements.
