Calcium formate CAS#544-17-2

Basic Information

Calcium formate

Calcium formate is a white to off-white fine crystalline powder used in construction and other industrial formulations. In cement systems it serves as a setting accelerator, with effects on hydration and strength development dependent on the formulation. Additional applications include silage preservation, fine-ore briquette binding, drilling fluids and lubricants. Selected grades are also used as feed formulation ingredients for pigs and poultry.

product description

Accelerates Cement Performance: Effectively shortens initial and final setting times while improving compressive strength in cement applications.


Enhances Structural Properties: Increases combined water content and gel/space ratio while reducing overall porosity, leading to improved material durability.


Promotes Animal Growth: Supports growth performance in livestock, particularly in young pigs and poultry, by improving feed efficiency.


Supports Animal Health: Helps reduce the incidence of diarrhea in piglets and provides beneficial effects even under bacterial challenges such as E. coli.

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.
