Production
In modern conditions of separate production of formiate of sodium does not exist, it is received in the form of by - product at pentaerythritol production. On the other hand, such production not absolutely pure therefore sodium formiate in that case can have some impurity which demand additional technology processing.
Appearance
On appearance formiate of sodium represents the crystal powder which is well dissolved water which can help to reduce water freezing temperature.
Application
Sodium formiate is applied in many industries of human activity. For tanning production it is the fine component helping to reduce acidity of skin, neutralizing it and at the same time serving as dubitel. For textile production formiate of sodium acts as travitelny component when painting. In construction this substance became irreplaceable component of concrete, helping it is essential to increase plasticity and frost resistance, is applied as directly on production, and during construction of monolithic designs. Also sodium formiate is used at the chemical, oil - extracting, pharmaceutical, agricultural and other companies.
Transportation
For the correct transportation formiate of sodium needs to be packaged according to the accident prevention, any kind of equipment and the covered containers, vans, cars and so on approaches.
Storage
For the correct storage it is necessary to place sodium formiate in the dry warehouse isolated from external impacts on special pallets.
Accident prevention
Restrictions on the accident prevention. It is forbidden to apply sodium formiate in installation of preliminary and intense designs with use of the reinforcing elements from steel of the class At - 4, At - 5, A - 4 and A - 5, in steel concrete (concrete) elements with reactive silicon dioxide as filler and more than sixty percent intended for use in the aqueous (gas) medium at humidity. Also sodium formiate is not used at production of products from steel concrete which are intended for work with the electrified transport and direct current. It is not toxic, not goryuch, but is explosive therefore naked flame close is not admissible.
Influence on human body
Formiate of sodium is the representative of the third class of danger - can irritate upper airways and mucous membranes.
