Sodium formate (chemical formula: HCOONa; CAS No. 141-53-7) is a highly versatile, white crystalline powder primarily utilized for its high solubility, buffering capacity, and environmentally benign degradation profile. At Shandong Pulisi Chemical Co., Ltd., we employ advanced synthesis controls to produce high-purity sodium formate that meets the rigorous demands of global oilfield drilling, leather tanning, construction acceleration, and environmental applications.
The primary synthetic routes involve reacting Carbon Monoxide (CO) with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) under high temperature and pressure:
CO + NaOH → HCOONa
As a stock-listed chemical pioneer (Stock Code: 307785), our manufacturing systems strictly optimize this thermodynamic reaction pathway, ensuring minimal byproduct formation and maximum crystallization consistency.

From deep downhole environments to smart concrete curing systems, Sodium Formate plays a pivotal chemical stabilizing role.
High-density formate drilling fluids are indispensable in High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) deep wells. Sodium formate brines function as high-performance, non-damaging reservoir fluids that stabilize shale formations, adjust mud density without solid additives, and prevent hydration swelling. Its high environmental compatibility profile makes it the preferred halogen-free choice for offshore drilling systems.
In the leather tanning process, sodium formate acts as an excellent masking agent. By forming complexes with chromium ions in the chrome tanning bath, it regulates the speed and depth of chrome penetration into the collagen fibers. This guarantees a uniform tanning distribution, stabilizes the solution pH, and improves the grain quality and softness of finished leather hides.
In early-strength concrete structures, sodium formate acts as a setting accelerator. It speeds up the hydration of tricalcium silicate, decreasing setting times in sub-zero operational conditions. It is also an eco-friendly runway deicer, depressing the freezing point of water without causing structural corrosion on steel rebar or concrete surfaces.
We maintain a comprehensive structural matrix of chemical supplies to serve diverse global manufacturing applications.
Shandong Pulisi Chemical Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 307785) is situated in Zibo, Shandong, China—the central chemical synthesis corridor. Our production lines are built on an automated Factory 4.0 infrastructure, powered by integrated Distributed Control Systems (DCS) that monitor reaction heat, gas flows, and crystallization parameters. This real-time control guarantees a consistent crystal size distribution (CSD) and minimizes physical clumping in the final bags.
To mitigate maritime delays, we maintain storage hubs at Qingdao Port, Tianjin Port, and overland terminals at Alashankou and Khorgos border ports. This enables rapid deployment through container shipping, bulk vessels, and the China-Europe Railway Express (Central Asia / Europe).
Our plants are certified under ISO9001:2015 Quality Management Systems and Germany's BV (Bureau Veritas) standards. Our feed-grade chemical lines comply with FAMI-QS standards, and our industrial materials are registered under EU-REACH and K-REACH.
We implement waste-heat recovery systems and closed-loop carbon recycling at our facilities. Our environmental initiatives help corporate buyers lower their Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions across their chemical procurement networks.
The global demand for formic acid salts is shifting toward sustainable synthesis pathways and hydrogen economy storage. Pulisi Chemical is actively researching green carbon capture utilization (CCU) technologies to convert captured CO2 directly into formates, decoupling production from traditional fossil-fuel derivatives.
Additionally, Formic Acid (HCOOH) and Sodium Formate (HCOONa) are being evaluated as liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Formate salt solutions offer safe transport properties, low flammability, and high volumetric hydrogen density, positioning them as viable materials for future clean energy grids.
