Growing demand of calcium formate in the construction industry

Calcium formate is used as cement additive and concrete accelerator, tile adhesives and cement-based mortars. The growth in the consumption of cement from the construction industry effectively boosts the demand for calcium formate market.

Calcium fromate is used as a cement additive in the construction industry for quick setting and increasing hardness of cement products. Cement is also used in the production of various products such as bricks and blocks, slabs and sheets, adhesives and concrete. In addition, calcium formate is also used as an inhibitor, PH regulator, corrosion protector to substrates of buildings and infrastructure, and for cementation of oil drilling. It is mostly used in the production of concrete in China which is one of the most dominant countries in the production and consumption of cement. Thus, the growing demand of cement in the construction industry is driving the market for calcium formate
