Calcium Formate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Calcium Methanoate
- Formic Acid Calcium Salt
- Ca(HCOO)2
- E238
Calcium formate supplier for construction, feed and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also known as calcium methanoate and formic acid calcium salt, this white crystalline powder is specified as a cement additive, setting accelerator and feed-grade additive where a solid calcium formate is required.
Commercial coverage includes construction grade for dry-mix mortar, tile adhesive and concrete admixtures, technical or industrial powder for general process use, and feed grade for animal-feed and premix formulations under the E238 identity.
Builders and formulators use calcium formate to support cement setting and early strength in construction systems, while feed manufacturers specify feed-grade material in compound feed programmes. Leather and other industrial processes may also call for a technical calcium formate salt.
Send the required construction, technical or feed grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about calcium formate
What grades of calcium formate are available?
Commercial supply commonly covers construction grade for cement and mortar systems, technical or industrial grade for general process use, and feed grade for animal-feed formulations. State the intended use and any assay or impurity limits so the quoted grade can be matched to the requirement.
Is calcium formate the same as calcium methanoate?
Yes. Calcium formate and calcium methanoate are alternate names for the same calcium salt of formic acid (CAS 544-17-2). Formic acid itself, sodium formate, potassium formate and calcium acetate are different products and should not be substituted without reformulation.
Is calcium formate used as a concrete accelerator and tile adhesive additive?
Yes. Construction-grade calcium formate is widely specified as a cement setting accelerator and additive in dry-mix mortar, tile adhesive and concrete admixtures. Suitability depends on the binder system and dose, so buyers should describe the application and performance target when enquiring.
What is feed-grade calcium formate used for?
Feed grade is selected for compound feed, premixes and related feed materials where calcium formate (E238) is specified as a preservative or additive. State any feed-grade assay, impurity or document limits with the enquiry.
What details are needed for a calcium formate quotation?
Provide the construction, technical or feed grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any required documents so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quote?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and required product documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
