The chemical formula of the product is Ca(HCOO)2, density — 2.015 g/cm3, molar mass — 130.12 g/mol. In natural conditions, calcium formic occurs infrequently. Artificially, the substance is obtained using special equipment, and calcium oxide / carbonate, calcium and formic acid act as raw materials. When implementing the production process, the requirements specified in TU 6-09-11-1149-78 are taken into account. Plants for the production of calcium formate operate on the territory of the Russian Federation, China and Sweden.
