Formica - Import export

The latest addition to the RUF Maschinenbau portfolio, the low-cost RUF Formica, is a new briquetting system designed for the metals industries. Configured for small to mid sized batches in a wide range of applications, it frees a lot of storage space and simplifies logistics, making it in addition an attractive investment for production companies generating only small chip quantities.

Formic Acid, also known as Methanoic in IUPAC name, is a chemical occurs naturally in the environment and might even be found in ants. The word ‚Formic‘ was derived from the Latin word for ant, which is ‚formic.‘ The chemical can also be produced industrially by using methanol. It is equally the simplest form of carboxylic Acid you can find. The chemical is represented by the chemical formula H2CO2. This chemical is presented with 99% purity.

Calcium Formate 98% is used as an animal feed preservative. It acidifies the feed and by doing so, it prevents the growth of microbes and increases the shelf life of the feed. It prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is used as a masking agent in chrome tanning of leather because it enhances the efficiency of leather penetration of the chrome. Calcium Formate is also used as a replacement of formic acid for the pickling process. It is also used as a grout and cement additive. It adds desirable properties to the final products. It helps increase hardness and decrease the setting time. It prevents the corrosion of metal substrates within cement or grout. It very effectively prevents efflorescence. Calcium Formate functions as a fire retardant in drywall. Its mixtures with urea are very effective deicers. These cause less corrosion of steel and cement surfaces.
