1.

Tanning of leather: Sodium formate stabilize the chromium, resulting in better leather quality. It is used for better penetration and tanning time reducing.

2.

Dyeing & Printing fabrics and paper.

3.

Raw material: Sodium formate chemically reduces other components by donating an electron or electrons. Formic acid and oxalic acid are prepared from sodium formate. Sodium formate is used in the manufacture of sodium hydrosulfite, a common reductive bleaching chemical.

4.

Oil drilling fluids: Used in completion fluid in oil field, drilling fluids.

5.

Anti-Frosting agent: Used as Anti-Frosting agent in concrete.

6.

Reductive bleaching agent: Sodium formate is used to improve the brightness and color.

7.

Deicing chemical: Sodium formate is less corrosive and undergoes fast melting action relative to other deicing chemicals.

8.

Buffering agent: Sodium formate improves both desulfurization efficiency and increasing lime absorbent utilization.

9.

Animal feed additive: Sodium formate is an efficient feed additive as it improve digestibility.

10.

Liquid Detergent: Used as a builder or an enzyme stabilizer. It is used in dyeing, in electroplating, in silage preservation
