for Drill-in and Completion Fluids as well as further Industrial applications

Thanks to its outstanding product properties Potassium formate produced by ADDCON gains in importance during the manufacturing process of different products. In addition to the application features Potassium formate in highly environmental compatible, non-toxic and biodegradable – this convinces customers from different industries.  

Well known areas of application for Potassium formate are

• De-icing and anti-icing agents
• Refrigerants and
• Drill-in and completion fluids for the oil- and gas industry.

Due to the excellent and unique product properties of Potassium formate further areas of applications developed where the use of Potassium formate improved product quality as well as environmental profile of the products.

Industrial applications of Potassium formate can be found in the following areas:

     -   Additives for the construction industry (concrete,…)

     -   Additives for polyurethanes, hard foams

     -   Additives for floor coverings with antistatic function

     -   Production of polymers, latex

     -   Flame retardants

     -   Print-, textile- and leather industry (pigments, tanning process)

     -   Metal-working and finishes

     -   Feed additives

The use of Potassium formate enables the production of fire retardant construction materials and more rapidly hardening concrete. Additional to this the addition of Potassium formate protects from micro-organism formation (mold) and enables during tanning processes bright colours of the end products.          

This is just a selection of areas of application, Potassium formate can be used for and demonstrates the versatile properties of this unique, organic salt.

Supply & Delivery

ADDCON produces Potassium formate of highest purity. It is available as solid or liquid product.

• 97 % patented, free flowing Potassium formate (40x25 kg, 500 kg Big Bag, 1050 kg Big Bag)
• 75 % clear Potassium formate brine (1000 l IBC Container, bulk)

Due to the increasing importance of environmental aspects and shrinking resources there is an increasing demand of the industry for product solutions with a better environmental balance.

The sustainable products of ADDCON do not only comply with environmental aspects but follow a comprehensive approach that includes, besides environmental issues, efficacy- and cost aspects.

The refrigerant HYCOOL developed and produced by ADDCON is based on Potassium formate and does not emit any greenhouse gases, is biodegradable and non-toxic. At the same time HYCOOL enables, thanks to its low viscosity and high heat transfer capacity, efficient refrigeration processes that save up to 20 % energy and money.

Drilling Fluids from ADDCON for the oil- and gas industry also comply with these highest requirements on sustainability. They enable efficient and state of the art drilling processes without threatening the environment because drilling fluids from ADDCON are non-toxic for animals, plants and water organisms and are biodegradable.
