Q1
oil drilling
Application (I) & oil drilling
Potassium formate is widely used in oil drilling industry as oil drilling and completion fluid. It has the advantages of strong inhibition, high temperature stability, low corrosion, good environmental protection, reservoir protection and so on.
There are several major problems in oil drilling, such as high bottom hole pressure, which requires high drilling fluid density. At the same time, it should have certain printability and anti pollution.
Potassium formate is mainly used to prepare water cut oil well filling fluid. It can achieve high density, maintain low viscosity, improve drilling speed and prolong the service life of bit. It is a high-quality material in the field of oil exploitation technology.

Snow melting agent
Application (2) & snow melting agent
Principle of potassium formate as snow melting agent
The action mechanism of the deicing and snow melting agent is to eliminate the adhesion between the loose road surface and the ice and snow, so that the frozen or snow is easier to be removed by the snow sweeper or the snow clearing and deicing machinery. The deicing and snow melting agent is easy to use, and the spraying equipment can be used for deicing and snow melting treatment.
Advantages of potassium formate as snow melting agent
In the snow dissolving agent industry, liquid potassium formate deicing and snow melting agent is a non nitrogen salt low chlorine product, which has neither dangerous components nor the characteristics of causing infringement and pollution factors. It can be biodegraded in water and will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the deicing agent is a very environmentally friendly deicing and snow dissolving agent. Other snow removers, such as acetate, have been eliminated due to the strong smell of acetic acid in the air and a certain degree of corrosion to the ground after snow melting. Potassium formate not only has good snow melting performance, but also overcomes all the disadvantages of acetate, which has been highly praised by citizens and environmentalists.
