General information

The salts and esters of formic acid are called formates. Examples of formates are sodium, calcium and aluminum formate.

Sodium formate is of great importance as a de-icing agent at airports. There, solid sodium formate mixed with anti-corrosion agents and other additives is used as a non-corrosive grit to de-ice runways, taxiways and aprons.

This mixture quickly penetrates solid layers of snow and ice, detaches them from the asphalt or concrete and quickly melts the ice (“de-icing effect”). The high freezing point effectively prevents re-icing (“anti-icing effect”), even at very low temperatures below −15 °C.

The thawing effect of the solid sodium formate can be increased by moistening it with aqueous potassium formate or potassium acetate solutions.
