Calcium formate is a white, crystalline, water-soluble calcium salt of formic acid, commonly used as a setting accelerator and corrosion inhibitor in the construction industry. It enhances the setting rate of concrete and mortar, especially in cold weather, by promoting early strength development. Calcium formate is also used as a preservative and feed additive in animal nutrition due to its antimicrobial properties, and in leather tanning as a masking agent.
