Analysis on the role of calcium formate and its market prospect

Recently, the price of calcium formate on domestic and international market rises again and again, this lets a lot of layman do not understand, this small chemical after all use in what domain, after all have what effect, its market development can be how again? Let's do a simple knowledge popularization for everyone now:

Calcium formate is actually a kind of containing formic acid calcium salt, calcium 31%, inclusive of our 69% formic acid, neutral pH value, and low water content, mix calcium formate to additive premix, will not result in a loss of vitamins, and under the effect of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice can isolate free formic acid, reduce gastric pH, calcium formate high melting point, above 400 ℃ can decompose, won't damage in the process of granulating.

The role of formic acid calcium mainly through the decomposition of formic acid in the stomach environment, function similar to potassium diformate, including: (1) to reduce the pH value of the gastrointestinal tract, is conducive to activate the pepsin, make up for the inadequacy of the piglets digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach, improve nutrient digestibility of feed, prevent the growth of e. coli and other bacterial pathogens, while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus. Beneficial bacteria, such as lactobacillus, can protect the intestinal mucosa from toxins produced by escherichia coli, preventing bacterial infection-related diarrhea. (2) formic acid, as an organic acid, ACTS as a chelating agent in the digestion process and can promote the absorption of minerals by the intestinal tract

In addition, calcium formate as a new feed additives developed at home and abroad, widely used, calcium formate can be used as an acid agent and can replace calcium propionate as antiseptic and fungicide, suitable for all kinds of animal feed, help feed digestion and absorption function. Especially suitable for weaning piglets, it can affect the proliferation of intestinal microorganisms, activate pepsinogen, improve the energy utilization of natural metabolites, improve feed conversion rate, prevent diarrhea, dysentery, improve survival rate and daily weight gain rate of piglets; At the same time calcium formate also has anti - mildew preservation effect. Test showed that calcium formate is added in the feed, traces of formic acid in animals will be free, reduce gastrointestinal pH value, and a buffer role, is conducive to stability in the gastrointestinal pH value and restrain harmful bacteria breeding, promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, such as the growth of lactic acid bacteria, to cover the invasion of the intestinal mucosa is not affected by toxins, so as to control and prevent the phenomenon such as diarrhea, diarrhea associated with bacteria, its content is usually 1 ~ 1.5%. Calcium formate as acidulant, compared with citric acid, in the process of feed production not deliquescence, good liquidity, pH value is neutral, not cause equipment corrosion, directly add feed can prevent vitamin and amino acids and other nutrients are destroyed, as an ideal feed acidulant, can completely replace the citric acid, fumaric acid, etc. Calcium formate in addition to a lot of use in the feed industry, also widely used in food, chemical, building materials, leather, petroleum and other industrial production, added to the cement can accelerate the rate of cement hardening, shorten the coagulation time. Calcium formate can also be made into an oral agent, to cure the human body of calcium deficiency, calcium supplements on the market, most of it made, because calcium formate commodity function, low price, the current domestic and foreign market is good, the sale prospect is broad.

To sum up, calcium formate can be used in most fields, is closely related to our lives, and the rise in its price also shows this, so the prospect is very good.
